My Favorite Goulash

There are certain foods we call comfort foods, I consider Goulash one of them. It’s simple, pretty quick to make, and something you can easily make after a long day without having to stand over the stove. I LOVE to add Cabbage to mine. I might be the only one that does it, but it adds something that I really like. Leftovers are great!

INGREDIENTS:

1 ½ lbs ground Beef, or ¾ lb Beef and ¾ lb Ground Turkey

¼ – 1/3 cup Celery, Chopped

¼ – 1/3 cup Bell Pepper, mixed colors, chopped

3/4 cup Onion, chopped

3-4 cloves Garlic, chopped

1 ½ cups Water

¾ cup Beef Broth

28 oz can Diced Tomatoes

8 oz Spaghetti Sauce

¼ cup Apple Sauce

1 Bay Leaf

1 tsp Italian Seasoning

Salt and Pepper

½ tsp Crushed Red Pepper

1 ½ cups Elbow Macaroni, Farfalle, or Ziti

8 oz Grated Italian Cheese Blend

OPTIONAL: 1 – ½ cups Cabbage, shredded

In a large skillet, brown Ground Beef until pink. Drain most of the grease. Add Celery, Peppers, Onion, and Garlic. Cook another 3-4 minutes.

Add Water, Beef Broth, Diced Tomatoes, Spaghetti Sauce, Applesauce, Bay Leaf, Italian Seasoning, Salt and Pepper, and Crushed Red Pepper. Add Cabbage now if using. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes.

Add uncooked Pasta and 1 cup Cheese. Cover, and simmer until Pasta is done (20-30 minutes). Stir occasionally and make sure the Pasta isn’t soaking up all the liquid. If it does, add a bit more water. Remove Bay Leaf. Sprinkle remaining Cheese over the top. Cover until melted. Serve. If it is a cool day, pop it under the broiler until the Cheese is bubbly and browned.
