Country Goulash

My grandfather came from Hungary when he was three. My grandmother made this recipe for a taste of home for him. It is Americanized, but still delicious. He added sour cream to his, while we kids we ate it plain. The consistency grandma made was like a casserole or stew rather than a soup.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 2 pounds lean ground beef

  • 1 large yellow onion, chopped

  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped

  • 3 tablespoons paprika, or to taste

  • 2 teaspoons ground black pepper, or to taste

  • 2 teaspoons seasoned salt, or to taste

  • 2 (15 ounce) cans tomato sauce

  • 1 (8 ounce) can tomato paste

  • 1 cup water, or as desired

  • 2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni

Directions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef, onion, and garlic in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes.

  2. Season beef with paprika, black pepper, and seasoned salt. Stir tomato sauce and tomato paste into the beef mixture until smooth. Pour water over the beef; add macaroni and stir.

  3. Bring the liquid to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer mixture, adding water as needed to maintain your desired consistency, until the macaroni is tender yet firm to the bit, about 20 minutes. Adjust seasoning before serving.
