Goulash is a hearty comfort food combining ground beef, pasta, tomato sauce, and melted cheese. This one-pot family favorite is great any night of the week.
Add ground beef, onions, bell pepper, and garlic to a large stockpot and on medium-high heat cook until meat is no longer pink. Drain any excess fat.
Add broth, water, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, stewed tomatoes, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, bay leaves, paprika, salt, and pepper. Then bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer with a cover on for 15 minutes.
Add the macaroni and stir well. Cover and simmer an additional 20 minutes stirring occasionally.
