Zesty One-Pot Goulash
Comfort food with a little swagger: beef, peppers, tender pasta and a tomato-rich sauce simmer together in one pot, then get a bright, zesty finish that keeps every spoonful from feeling heavy. This is the dependable “everyone is hungry now” dinner.
Ingredients
Method
- Heat Ellbee's Chef's Blend Extra Virgin Olive Oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add beef, onion, pepper and celery; cook until the beef is browned and vegetables soften, breaking up the meat as it cooks.
- Stir in Ellbee's Zesty Gourmet Garlic for 30 seconds. Add tomatoes, stock, a pinch of salt and pepper, then bring to a steady simmer.
- Stir in macaroni, cover partially and simmer until the pasta is tender and the sauce is thick, 15 to 18 minutes. Stir often near the end so the pasta does not stick.
- Take off the heat and stir in Ellbee's Tomato Basil Balsamic Vinegar and cheese. Rest 5 minutes, then finish with parsley and an extra shower of cheese.
Notes
Time: 55 min
Kitchen tip: If the goulash thickens before the pasta is tender, add a splash of warm stock rather than water to keep the sauce flavorful.
