Equipment
- Large Skillet, or Dutch Oven, with a Lid
Ingredients
- 2 tbs Olive Oil
- 1 small Onion finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic minced
- 1 lb Lean Ground Beef
- ½ teaspoon Kosher Salt
- ½ teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- 1 tbs Tomato Paste
- 15 oz can Petit Diced Tomatoes
- 15 oz can Tomato Sauce
- 1 ¼ c Low Sodium Beef Broth
- 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 8 oz Dry Elbow Macaroni
- 8 oz Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese divided
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a pot with a lid over medium heat.1 Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, for about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and stir into the onions. Cook for about a minute, until the garlic becomes fragrant.
- Add the ground beef and stir into the onions and garlic. Cook for about 5-6 minutes, or until the meat is no longer pink. Drain the fat from the meat.
- Add the Kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, and tomato paste. Stir them into the meat mixture.
- Add the petit diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, low-sodium beef broth, Italian seasoning, and paprika. Stir them into the meat mixture.
- Add the dry elbow macaroni and stir it into the mixture so everything is well combined. Bring to a simmer, place the lid on the pot, reduce the heat to medium-low, and cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender.
- Once the pasta is done, add 4 ounces of extra sharp cheddar cheese and stir into the goulash until all the cheese has melted.
- Remove the pot from the heat, top with some additional extra sharp cheddar cheese, and place the lid on the pot for a few minutes, until the cheese melts.
- Yield 6 servings
