Hey, guys! 👋 Today we’re making one of the easiest, most comforting meals ever: Easy Cheesy Beef Goulash! 🍲
It’s packed with ground beef, pasta, and cheese, and it’s the perfect dish for a cozy night in or when you’re super hungry but don’t wanna spend hours cooking. Let’s dive into the cheesy goodness! 😍
📝 Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 small onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 cups elbow macaroni (uncooked)
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional, but fancy!)
👩🍳 Directions:
- Cook the Beef: In a big pot, cook the ground beef over medium heat until it’s browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain the fat, then toss in the diced onions and garlic. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the onions are soft. Your kitchen is gonna smell amazing! 🧄🍂
Add the Tomato Goodness: Stir in the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, beef broth, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Let it all simmer for about 5 minutes so the flavors can mix together. Yum! 😋
Add the Pasta: Throw in the uncooked elbow macaroni and stir it into the sauce. Cover the pot and let everything cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender and perfect. You’ll know it’s ready when the sauce is thick and delicious!
Get Cheesy: Turn off the heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese. Mix it all together until the cheese is melted and super gooey. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese on top and cover the pot for a couple of minutes to let it melt. Cheese overload? Yes, please! 🧀✨
Serve & Enjoy: Garnish with fresh parsley if you’re feeling fancy, and serve your cheesy beef goulash hot. Grab a big spoon because you’re not gonna wanna stop eating this! 🍴
