ingredients
- 1 lb elbow macaroni
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large diced onion
- 1 large bell pepper
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 2 lbs ground meat
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons dried Italian herb seasoning
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
- 1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes
- 3 cups grated cheese
directions
- Cook the elbow macaroni pasta (or other small pasta) in salted water until tender. Drain.
- In a dutch oven or large soup pot, put the oil and diced onion. Cook the onion for about 4 minutes over medium heat.
- Add the bell pepper and cook until just tender.
- Add the garlic and cook one more minute.
- Add the ground meat and cook until browned.
- Drain off any fat.
- Add the soy sauce (or use Worcestershire sauce), dried Italian herbs, salt and pepper. (Instead of salt I usually use bouillon.) Stir to combine.
- Add the tomatoes. If you want a stronger tomato flavor, add some tomato paste also.
- Add the drained pasta and mix well.
- You will probably need to add more salt at this time. Serve hot with grated cheese for garnish. I also sometimes serve sour cream on the side. This dish is often better the next day.
- Variations: Some people like to add corn or a can of condensed mushroom soup to their American goulash. You could also add taco seasoning mix and give it a Mexican twist.

I like to eat a variety of food so have lots of different kinds of recipes that I have added and reviewed. Probably the favorite foods that I have reviewed are the ones with Nutella in the ingredients.
