GOULASH
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.

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.

GOULASH
This is a hearty tomato and pasta dish. It is one of those recipes that is hard to mess up. You can basically add anything to it you like and it's still good. If it is too dry add more tomatoes or sauce. You can use any type of pasta you like, we like shells. Most people use elbow macaroni. You could even cook the macaroni from a box of mac and cheese and then stir the dry cheese into the final dish. This is a 'NO FAIL' recipe.

GOULASH AMERICAN STYLE MY WAY
I looked through all, many similar, but mine enough different I decided it warranted being submitted separately. My granddaughter wrote and asked for the recipe - what recipe? - so I wrote back and told her how I usually made it. But it's a little different now. I wish I'd had some green and red peppers but passed them up at the store. It turned out nice but am hoping the flavors will blend together overnight. I make my Italian meat sauce similarly but use garlic and Italian spices which I don't for this. I used 2 packets of Swanson Flavor Boost, and the editor will not recognize it. It's very concentrated broth and new on the market.

Steps:
- Start cooking the pasta shells in 3 quarts of boiling water to which a few drops of salad oil and a little salt were added; stir occasionally.
- Cook eleven minutes for well done, drain, don't rinse, set aside.
- Next I browned the onions in some margarine and scraped into small dish to set aside until the meat is browned.
- Turned up the heat and put in the ground beef, started breaking it up with spatula.
- Continued to brown the beef and break up with a little cookie-cutter type chopper with sharp, scalloped teeth (use whatever you prefer as a utensil.
- Brown to me is parts are actually a nice brown, not just stirring around until all the pink is gone; it helps with the flavor.
- When beef was browned to my satisfaction, put the onions back into the skillet with the browned, broken-up beef.
- Added the tomato paste, diced tomatoes and water, stirred on low heat.
- Add the flavor booster and did a taste test because it's salty, just right.
- To avoid over salting,I didn't use any salt except what I boiled the shells in until I added the booster (it's concentrated).
- Add the seasoned salt, seasoned pepper blend, parsley, Worcestershire sauce and cheese.
- If it's too thick, add a little more water; if too watery, cook it down while stirring, doesn't take long.
- Can be eaten right away, baked in oven, frozen, or made a day ahead.
- Add ground pepper to taste when served.
SHELL PASTA GOULASH
One year at my kids' annual 4-H club's annual mystery menu dinner (that's a story in itself, if you want to ask about it!) another mom made this dish, or one very similar to it. I never got the recipe from her, but I remembered that the recipe was popular with everyone, contained shell pasta and was spicier than most goulash dishes I'd ever eaten. I have tried many times to replicate it, and finally came up with a close combination of modern goulash ingredients that we really enjoy. Hope you do, too!

Steps:
- Crumble ground beef in medium skillet and cook thoroughly, stirring occasionally. Drain juices from meat.
- While meat cooks, boil pasta until tender in medium-sized saucepan on stove top or in a large glass microwave-safe bowl in the microwave. Drain and rinse in colander.
- Prepare a 8 X 11 inch dish with vegetable spray. Mix meat and pasta well in dish. Dish will nearly be filled. Add in cans of tomato soup and tomatoes with chilies. Mix in, making sure to coat meat/pasta lightly with soup by stirring gently, but well. Shred the stick of mozarella string cheese and tear in to small bits, scattering over top of mixture. (This cheese will melt down through the mixture.) Sprinkle cheddar cheese over top of string cheese bits.
- Cover dish with paper towel and cook in microwave on high for 8 minutes, turning dish once or twice if not a carousel microwave. Let stand about 2-3 minutes before serving to allow cheeses to thicken.
Tips for Making Shell Pasta Goulash:
- Use a large pot or Dutch oven to make the goulash. This will give the ingredients plenty of room to cook and prevent the goulash from boiling over.
- Brown the beef in batches to prevent it from steaming and becoming tough. Make sure that each batch is browned before adding the next one.
- Add the garlic and paprika to the pot towards the end of cooking. This will help to prevent them from burning and becoming bitter.
- Use a good quality beef broth for the best flavor. You can also use a combination of beef broth and water, if desired.
- Add the egg noodles to the pot and cook until they are tender. Do not overcook the noodles, or they will become mushy.
- Serve the goulash hot with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
Conclusion:
Shell pasta goulash is a hearty and delicious meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste by adding different vegetables, spices, or cheeses. Serve it with a side of bread or salad for a complete meal.
