KICKIN' GHOULASH

This ground beef goulash is a quick and easy recipe to make.  Comfort Food!  One Pan!  Yes!  You can create this with or without spice depending on your preferences.  We love the heat it adds.  TIP:  Try it without the red pepper flakes and sprinkle on individual bowls for those that want spice.

Ingredients

• 1 large onion, diced
• 1 green bell pepper, diced
• 2 lbs. ground beef, 80/20
• 3 TBS garlic, minced
• 1 28 oz can tomato sauce
• 1 28 oz can petite diced tomatoes
• 3 cups beef broth
• 3 TBSP Worcestershire Sauce
• 3 tsp seasoned salt
• 2 TBS Italian Seasoning
• 2-3 TBS Red Pepper Flakes (optional) 
• 2 TBS Three Onion Seasoning from Pampered Chef (optional)
• 2 TBS Bell Pepper Herb Seasoning from Pampered Chef (optional)
• 1 16 oz  box elbow macaroni noodles, uncooked
• 1 8 oz Bag Colby Jack cheese (or cheddar), shredded

Instructions

• Add ground beef to large pot over medium-high heat. Add in the onion, bell pepper and cook until beef is no longer pink. Drain any excess fat (if you prefer...I just leave it in) and return pot to the stove top. Add in the garlic and stir for about 30 seconds.
• Add salt, italian seasoning, bell pepper herb seasoning and three onion seasoning and stir.
• Pour in the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce and dried macaroni noodles. Stir and bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to a light boil and stir occasionally until the pasta is tender, about 20 minutes.  Move to a cool burner and allow the mixture to thicken as it cools some.
• While mixture is still warm and thickened stir in the cheddar cheese and red pepper flakes just before serving. Enjoy!
