Easy American Goulash

So good! I read the other reviews saying the pasta takes awhile so I cooked the pasta separately and left the water out of the mixture. I added a lot of extra crushed red pepper as well as salt/garlic salt. Also added an entire bag of cheddar cheese. For the wine I used a carbernet Sauvignon. Very delicious on a fall evening.

Use real wine not wine vinegar

Seems like it would be better to cook the pasta separately and mix it in after. It's taking forever to cook the pasta with the simmering goulash.

Was a little too spicy but I garnished with mild cheddar and it was perfect after that.

I hate to be one of the, "I made it but changed everything," people, but I forgot to thaw the ground beef, so I used mild italian sausage, instead. I also added carrots and celery in with the onions (out of habit), an diced up a couple sweet potatoes and added them, as well. It was delicious-- it is definitely a recipe that can be altered pretty easily to match whatever you have on hand. Super easy, will definitely be a go-to when we want something filling and comforting on a cold night!

Didn’t have elbows so I used heart shaped pasta from Aldi’s. Pasta was a little dense. Used red bell pepper instead of green. This goulash was slightly flavorless, but I will change a couple of things and try this again. Fried some cornbread and made coleslaw to eat with this. Filling.

Good flavor and easy. Husband prefers chili to this.

Use 1/2 the soy sauce next time
