  3. Pour in the beef broth, diced tomatoes (with juices), tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, onion powder, and pepper. Stir well. Bring to a boil.

  5. Turn off heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and fully incorporated.

Notes:

  • For a less soupy goulash, increase the amount of elbow macaroni to 3 cups (about 12 ounces).
  • Substitute half Italian sausage and half ground beef for variation.

Tips:

  • Garnish bowls of goulash with shredded cheddar, parsley, diced onions or toasted breadcrumbs.
  • Serve with rice, buttered noodles or on its own with crusty bread for dipping.
  • Top individual portions with a fried egg for extra protein.
  • Add additional vegetables like carrots, celery or mushrooms.
  • Swap the beef with chorizo or Italian sausage.
  • Use less macaroni for a more saucy stew-like dish.
