The following recipe for Lean Beef Goulash was kindly sent by SurvivalBlog reader C.K.. She says: “I use lean beef, to keep this from tasting like some old-time greasy goulash.”
Ingredients
- 1 to 1.25 pounds Ground Beef (93% lean — or even more lean)
- 1-1/2 cups minced onions
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 can (15 ounces) of tomato sauce
- 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) of diced tomatoes
- 1-1/2 cups water
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon seasoned salt (or less, if on a low-salt diet.)
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 cup uncooked elbow macaroni
Directions
- Heat a large stock pot over medium heat until hot. Add Ground Beef, onions, and garlic; cook 8 to 10 minutes, breaking into 1/2-inch crumbles, stirring occasionally, or until onions are translucent.
- Stir in tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, water, soy sauce, paprika, Italian seasoning, seasoned salt, and bay leaf; bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat, cover tightly and simmer 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in macaroni, cover and simmer 20 minutes or until pasta is tender, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.
- Remove and discard the bay leaf.
- Garnish with parmesan cheese, if desired.
