Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Classic Country Goulash.
Step 1
Start by warming a large skillet over medium-high heat, letting it get nice and hot.
Step 2
Once it’s ready, toss in the ground beef along with the chopped onion and minced garlic.
Step 3
As you cook, stir frequently to break up the beef and ensure everything cooks evenly.
Step 4
In about 5 to 7 minutes, you’ll notice the beef turning a lovely brown and becoming crumbly—this is the perfect time to season it with paprika, black pepper, and seasoned salt for that extra flavor kick.
Step 5
Next, stir in the tomato sauce and tomato paste, mixing until everything is beautifully combined and smooth.
Step 6
Now, pour in some water and add the uncooked elbow macaroni, giving it a good stir to make sure the macaroni is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Step 7
Bring this delightful concoction to a boil, then lower the heat to medium-low.
Step 8
Let it simmer gently, stirring occasionally and adding more water if it looks too dry.
Step 9
You want the macaroni to be tender yet still have a nice bite to it, which should take about 20 minutes.
Step 10
Before serving, take a moment to taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Step 11
Enjoy this comforting dish that’s sure to bring smiles to the table!.
