Step by Step Method

Step 1

Sauté onion and garlic in a large soup pot with the olive oil over medium heat until the onions are translucent.

Step 2

Add the bell pepper to the pot and continue to sauté for about two minutes more.

Step 3

Add the ground beef to the pot with the vegetables and continue to sauté over medium, breaking up beef as it browns, until the beef is cooked through. Add the red wine to the pot and stir to dissolve any browned bits off the bottom of the pot.

Step 4

Add the diced tomatoes (with juices), tomato sauce, soy sauce, bay leaves, oregano, basil, crushed red pepper, and water to the pot. Stir to combine, place a lid on the pot, and allow it to come up to a boil. Once boiling, turn it down to low, and let the sauce simmer for 30 minutes with the lid on, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

After the sauce has simmered for 30 minutes, add the macaroni and stir to combine. Continue to let the macaroni simmer in the sauce, with the lid on, stirring occasionally until the pasta is tender (about 10-12 minutes).

Step 6

Once the pasta is tender, taste the goulash and add salt and pepper to taste. Remove the bay leaves, then serve.

Good comfort food. I made this for the kids and me last weekend and we all enjoyed it. Everyone had seconds. Thanks for sharing this nice keeper, Mike.

Oh my goodness, this was a hit. I made this using beef broth to replace the red wine as I was making this for the grandkids. Well we all loved this. Pure comfort food :)

10 out of 10 comfort food recipe here. It reminded me of my mom's version of goulash. The big difference was the use of bell peppers, and I really enjoyed that addition. Thank you!
