American Goulash With Peppers Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oil in a pot over medium-high heat. Add onion and ground beef. Cook, breaking the meat into small pieces, until browned, about 5 minutes. Cook and stir until liquid is evaporated, 3 to 5 minutes more. Add garlic, salt, black pepper, cayenne, paprika, Italian seasoning, and bay leaves.
• Cook and stir until flavors come together, about 3 minutes. Pour in chicken broth, diced tomatoes, and marinara sauce. Rinse out the jar with 1 cup water and pour into the pot. Add soy sauce, stir, and bring soup to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium and simmer to let flavors intensify, about 30 minutes.
• Increase heat to medium-high and bring soup to a simmer. Add macaroni; simmer, stirring occasionally, until just barely tender, about 12 minutes. Check for doneness after 10 minutes.
• Remove goulash from heat. Discard bay leaves; stir in parsley and Cheddar cheese. Cover and let rest for 5 minutes. Taste and season as desired.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bell peppers, onion, salt, pepper flakes and bay leaf. Cook until the onions are softened and turn translucent.
• Stir in the tomato paste and paprika, cook 1 to 2 minutes. Add the garlic and jalapenos and cook 30 seconds then toss in the ground meat and dried oregano, and cook, breaking up with a spoon, until no longer pink.
• Pour in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and Worcestershire. Bring to a boil and add in the dried and chopped spinach. Reduce to a simmer and continue to cook about 20 minutes (while you prepare the pasta.).
• In a large pot bring water to a boil and prepare your pasta as directed on the package. Once done drain well and return to the large pot.
• Salt and pepper your meat sauce to taste and remove the bay leaf. Pour the sauce into the large pot with the pasta. Stir until well combined and the pasta is coated.
