This recipe was a hit with my in laws. Making a Beefy American Goulash was the perfect kind of way to welcome my in laws into our new home. It was comforting and homey, while making the house smell delicious.
Oh and did I mention it was all made in one pot? It was definitely a win! This dish is so incredibly easy to make and can be whipped up in no time. So next time your husband is asking you for a meaty dinner, serve this up!
Check out what our friends over at Emily Bites had to say about this:
“There’s no denying that this is classic comfort food. Meaty, saucy and full of juicy tomatoes and hearty macaroni, this savory dish comes together simply and all in one pot (yay, less dishes!)”
Yay for no dishes and a bit hearty pot of food! I love it!
