This quick and easy goulash recipe brings back all the nostalgia for me!
I can remember having this dish at my grandmother’s house when I was little and I’ve had a love for it ever since. She made a spicier version and you can certainly do that! Feel free to add zesty tomatoes (chili-style), jalapenos or whatever else your heart desires to add to this goulash recipe!
What I love about this recipe is that you can be creative, you can even top it with cheese and sour cream!
I can eat this on its own and find it quite filling between the pasta and the ground beef. But if you’re looking for something to compliment this meal, it’s great with cornbread or even some salad beforehand!
My Goulash Recipe
Just a quick note on my photos for this recipe – I used more macaroni than what’s called for because I needed to get rid of it at my house (anybody else hoard stuff in your cabinets?!) and I had the larger, zesty tomatoes at my pantry, so I threw those in this time too!

That’s a wrap on this quick and easy goulash recipe, friends! I’d love to hear if you’ve had goulash before, or if it’s something you would like to try! Do you have any recipes that bring back childhood memories?
I love making goulash like this in the fall when I have fresh tomatoes from the garden. There is normally so much extra liquid I toss in the noodles after I cooked the beef to save a dish! It’s such a great fall meal!
I can see it being so tasty with fresh tomatoes and that’s a fantastic way to make it into a one-pot meal! So happy you love goulash too!
