Kicked-Up Goulash image

This is no elementary school goulash, although it's as easy and a teen-pleaser. I created this recipe with what I had on hand, but the pearl onions and corn kick it up. It's hard to stop eating.

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 ½ cups elbow macaroni
¾ pound ground beef
1 cup frozen pearl onions
1 cup canned corn kernels, drained
1 ½ teaspoons Italian seasoning, or more to taste
1 (26 ounce) jar chunky spaghetti sauce (such as Del Monte®)
salt to taste
⅓ cup shredded Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, 8 minutes. Drain. Return drained macaroni to the pot.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until partially browned, 3 to 5 minutes; add pearl onions, corn, and Italian seasoning. Continue to cook and stir until the beef is no longer pink, about 2 minutes. Place a cover on the skillet and cook until the onions are heated through, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain and discard excess fat. Add beef mixture to macaroni.
  • Pour spaghetti sauce over the beef and pasta; stir to coat. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until hot, about 5 minutes.
  • Season pasta mixture with salt and more Italian seasoning, as needed; top with Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend to serve.

This goulash was a bit too time-consuming to make, but the results were worth it. The beef was fall-apart tender and the sauce was rich and flavorful.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my goulash turned out way too salty. I think I accidentally added too much salt.

This goulash was a bit too thick for my taste. I would have preferred a thinner sauce.

This goulash was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more salt and pepper.

This goulash was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. Next time I'll use less cayenne pepper.

I've made goulash many times before, but this recipe is by far the best. The secret is in the spice blend.
