Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef 🥩
1 large onion, finely diced 🧅
2 cloves garlic, minced 🧄
1 bell pepper, diced (any color) 🌶️
2 cups elbow macaroni 🍝
1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce 🍅
1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained 🍅
2 cups beef broth 🥣
1 tbsp soy sauce (adds a hint of umami!) 🥄
1 tsp Italian seasoning 🌿
Salt and pepper, to taste 🧂
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, optional 🧀

Cook the Beef: In a large skillet or pot, brown the ground beef over medium heat until it’s no longer pink. Drain any excess fat.
Add Veggies: Add the diced onion, garlic, and bell pepper to the beef. Sauté until the veggies are soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
Mix in Sauces: Stir in the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, beef broth, soy sauce, and Italian seasoning. Bring to a gentle simmer.
Add Pasta: Pour in the elbow macaroni, stirring to combine. Cover and let it cook on low for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender and has absorbed the flavors.
Season: Taste and add salt and pepper as needed. For extra richness, sprinkle shredded cheddar on top and let it melt before serving! 😍
Serve & Enjoy: Dish up this warm and hearty meal! It’s perfect for cozy nights or a comforting holiday dinner.
💡 Pro Tip: Make it even more comforting with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or a dollop of sour cream! This classic goulash will warm hearts and bellies all around.
