Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pounds lean ground beef
2 large yellow onions, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
3 cups water
2 (15 ounce) cans tomato sauce
2 (14.5 ounce) cans diced tomatoes
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons dried Italian herb seasoning
3 bay leaves
1 tablespoon seasoned salt, or to taste
2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni

Steps:

QUICK PORK GOULASH



Quick Pork Goulash image

This easy one-pot goulash comes together in under an hour-not bad for a dish that traditionally simmers for most of the day. By opting for quick-cooking tenderloin instead of the more common shoulder roast, the pork becomes melt-in-your-mouth tender in a fraction of the time. We recommend serving this comforting dish over buttered egg noodles with a crisp green salad on the side.

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 1/4 pounds pork tenderloin, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 teaspoons olive oil
2 carrots, diced
1 rib celery, diced
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 red or green bell pepper, diced
3 tablespoons sweet paprika
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon crushed caraway seeds
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup low-sodium beef broth
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
2 cups whole-wheat egg noodles
Chopped chives, for garnish

Steps:

  • Toss the pork pieces with the thyme, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Heat 1/2 of the oil in a medium Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the pork pieces in a single layer and cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a bowl.
  • Heat the remaining oil in the same pot and add the carrots, celery, onions and bell pepper and cook, stirring, until softened, 7 to 10 minutes. Stir in the paprika, tomato paste, caraway and garlic until fragrant and the tomato paste has darkened slightly, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the broth and 1 1/2 cups water and bring to a simmer. Cook until the vegetables are tender and the broth has thickened, about 45 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook the noodles according to package directions and keep warm.
  • Add the pork back to the stew and cook, stirring, until the pork is cooked through and hot. Stir in the vinegar and season with salt and pepper. Toss with the hot egg noodles and garnish with chives.

GOULASH



Goulash image

Not to be confused with the Hungarian dish of paprika-spiced stewed meat and vegetables, this American version of goulash, also referred to as "slumgullion," is made with ground beef and pasta. The beef is cooked down with plenty of aromatics and spices and combined with tomatoes, pasta, and cheese to create the perfect comfort meal. We added paprika to the dish in a nod to its Hungarian counterpart.

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound ground beef
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1 tablespoon tomato paste
One 15-ounce can diced tomatoes
One 15-ounce can tomato sauce
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 cup low-sodium beef broth
8 ounces cavatappi pasta
4 ounces sharp Cheddar, shredded on the large holes of a box grater (about 1 cup), plus more for serving
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, plus more for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add the beef and cook, stirring and breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until browned and no longer pink, about 8 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon salt, a few grinds of pepper, the paprika, and Italian seasoning to the beef and stir to combine. Cook, stirring, until the paprika begins to toast and become fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir the tomato paste into the beef mixture to coat, then cook until the paste thickens and deepens in color, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, Worcestershire and beef broth to the beef mixture and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot, to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to medium low and add the cavatappi. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Remove the pot from the heat. Gently stir in the parsley and Cheddar until combined and the cheese starts to melt. Divide the goulash among 6 bowls and top with more shredded Cheddar and chopped parsley.
