Dutch Oven Ground Beef Goulash

1 . Stage

Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Cook and stir onion in the hot oil until translucent, about 5 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high. Add ground beef, black pepper, and salt; cook and stir until browned and crumbly, about 10 minutes.

2 . Stage

Pour in tomatoes, beef broth, wine, paprika, garlic, Worcestershire, thyme, caraway seeds, rosemary, and bay leaves. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until reduced to a thick, stew-like consistency, about 45 minutes.

3 . Stage

Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook cavatappi in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 9 to 10 minutes.

4 . Stage

Stir bell pepper and lemon juice into the beef mixture and cook for 10 minutes more. Stir in cooked pasta to coat.
