Servings - 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb. ground beef
- 1 Tbsp minced onion
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 15 oz. can crushed tomatoes
- 1 Tbsp sweet Hungarian paprika
- 10 oz. bag frozen chopped green pepper
- 1 cup bag frozen carrot slices
- 2 1/2 cups beef broth
- 12 oz. box elbow pasta
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese optional
- dollops sour cream garnish
- 1 tsp chopped parsley garnish
Instructions
- In a large skillet with a tight fitting lid, brown the ground beef with the minced onion and garlic powder. Drain, if needed.
- Pour in the crushed tomatoes and Hungarian paprika - stir to combine. Stir in the frozen bell peppers and carrot slices and stir through. Pour in the beef stock and bring to bubbling.
- Add the elbow pasta shells. Press the shells into the liquid, so that they are all "underwater." If needed, add a couple more TBSP of broth or water. Put the lid on and cook over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes, or until pasta has cooked through.
- Once pasta is cooked, stir through and then sprinkle the cheese on top.
- Serve Hungarian-style Goulash with dollop of sour cream in each bowl, topped with chopped parsley garnish.
