Ingredients
- 1 pound elbow macaroni
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1 onion finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 15 oz cans tomato sauce
- 2 14.5 oz cans petit diced tomatoes
- 1 ½ tablespoons Italian seasoning
- 2 teaspoons salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
Instructions
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Cook the Macaroni:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the macaroni for 3 minutes less than the box instructions, then drain.
Cook the Beef and Onions:
- Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add the ground beef and chopped onions to the pan.
- Break the beef apart as it cooks, about 6-7 minutes, until browned. Drain any excess fat.
Add Garlic and Sauces:
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
- Add the Worcestershire sauce, tomato sauce, and diced tomatoes, stirring to combine.
Season the Mixture:
- Stir in the Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Combine with Macaroni and Cheese:
- Stir in the cooked macaroni and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly mixed.
Bake:
- If your skillet is oven-safe, transfer the mixture to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the goulash is bubbly and the cheese is melted.
- If the skillet is not heat-safe, transfer the mixture to a casserole dish before baking.
Notes
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
