"Cheese and Beef..." what else do you need in a meal, right?! This Cheesy Beef Goulash is one of my kid's favorites. They gobble it up every time I make it. It's such an easy meal that I can quickly whip up during the week. Add a salad and you have a great meal for the family that leaves their bellies full and often feeds our family of 6 two nights. I doubt it will feed us for two nights once they are all teenagers, but it almost works now!
Let's get started.
Ingredients:
2 lbs ground beef (to make even healthier with less fat, you can do 1/2 ground beef and half ground turkey).
1/2 onion, chopped
3 tsp minced garlic
3 cups water
2 cans tomato sauce (8 oz cans)
2 cans diced tomatoes (15 oz, or 1 big 28 oz)
3 bay leaves
3 Tbsp soy sauce (I use low-sodium)
1 tsp season salt
2 Tbsp Italian seasoning
2 cups elbow macaroni
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions:
- Saute onion in a teaspoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. After a couple of minutes, add ground beef.
- Drain any excess fat off meat.
- Add garlic and saute for a few minutes.
Add water, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, Italian seasoning, bay leaves, soy sauce, and season salt. Stir well and cook for a few minutes.
- Add uncooked elbow macaroni, stir well, and cover.
- Simmer for 25-30 minutes.
- Turn off the heat, remove the bay leaves and add the cheddar cheese right before serving.
