This Goulash recipe is my husbands absolute favorite! Even though he calls is American chop suey. I grew up calling it Goulash, and it was a family favorite growing up! I know your family will love this simple to make dish as well!

American Goulash

What did you call this meal? Goulash or American chop suey? The debate is on! This the perfect family dinner. My husband and I love it just as much as the kids do! I added my own little twist on it. I feel like since this recipe is called Goulash you can kinda just add whatever you feel like! My favorite part about this recipe, the shredded cheese! I’ve seen a few recipes that call for cheese but a lot that don’t but I love to add it! I usually add a cup of cheese to the skillet. It melts in the hot noodles and helps all the Goulash stick together nicely! Plus cheese makes everything taste better!

How to make American Goulash:

Step 1:

Cooked elbow macaroni, drain, and set aside.

Step 2:

Cook oil, ground beef, onion, green pepper, and garlic in a pan on medium heat until beef is browned.

Step 3:

Drain fat and then add Worcestershire sauce and salt and pepper.

Step 4:

Add your cooked noodles to your pan with cooked beef and vegetables.

Step 5:

Drain water from diced tomato then add the diced tomatoes and tomato sauce to your pan.

Step 6:

Allow to heat for 3-4 minutes, then add cheddar cheese and mix well and allow to melt.
