My family loves pasta dishes but I will admit that I run out of ideas and end up doing the same dishes again and again. Then Krista from Everyday Mom’s Meals reminds of a simple dish that I haven’t made in years with her Mom’s Goulash recipe!
As you know, I love recipes with ingredient lists that include items that I am familiar with. This recipe is perfect in that respect so it will definitely be on the menu plan for us soon! The only thing I need to
What you need:
- 1 lb. elbow macaroni, cooked and drained
- 1 lb. ground beef
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- 1 (26 oz.) jar spaghetti sauce
- 1 TBS dried parsley, extra for garnish
- Salt and Pepper to taste.
- Grated Parmesan cheese
What you do:
- In a large skillet, brown ground beef and onion until no longer pink. Drain if necessary.
- Reduce heat, season with garlic powder, salt and pepper.
- When macaroni is cooked, add to meat mixture.
- Add spaghetti sauce. Stir to combine.
- Sprinkle with parsley and stir.
- Cook on low for 10-15 minutes to allow flavors to combine and thicken slightly.
- Serve with extra parsley and Parmesan cheese.

I also love how easy this is to prepare. J has been wanting to help more when it comes to meal prep but he sometimes feels intimidated. This goulash recipe is straight forward enough that I think he could step into the kitchen with confidence! It’s also a great one for me to throw together when I want a good one pan/pot recipe.

I love goulash. My moms recipe is delicous but it has green peppers in it which i love but my kids dont so I dont make it very often. I should try this recipe out since it doesnt have green peppers and see if they like it.

This sounds so good. One thing i do is add corn in my goulash. I know it seems weird but it is so good. We eat corn or salad with pasta all the time and I thought why no just add it in the goulash.
