I love a warm and comforting bowl of Goulash with some melty cheddar cheese on top. This one-pot dish has everything you are asking for – red sauce, spices, pasta, and ground beef. A perfect combination that made this perfect Old fashioned Goulash like what our Grandmothers used to make. Don’t be afraid to tweak this recipe but this is awesome as is. Always a big hit, kids and adults approved, and you can never go wrong because it is pretty straightforward. Mouthwatering and tastes great as leftovers.
