Equipment
  • 1 saucepan
  • 1 Cutting board
  • 1 Knife
  • 1 wooden spoon
Ingredients
  
  • 1 1/2 lb ground beef
  • 1 lb pasta of choice cooked
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 2 cans tomato sauce 14 oz
  • 1 tbsp chicken or beef bouillon
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp rosemary
  • 1 tbsp chili flakes
  • 3/4 cup cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste
Instructions
 
  • Heat up a tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot, preferably a non-stick one, over medium-high heat.
  • Once the oil is hot, you can add the chopped onion and sauté it over medium-high heat until it becomes soft and translucent. If the onion starts burning, make sure to reduce the heat.
  • Once the onion is ready, it is time to add the ground beef. Make sure to break it up using a wooden spoon and stir it into the sautéed onion.
  • Season the onion and meat mixture with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, rosemary, and chili flakes. Then, combine everything together.
  • It is important to cook the beef until it develops a golden brown color, as this process will release all the delicious meat juices and make the slumgullion that much more delicious.
  • Once the meat is ready, you can pour in the tomato sauce and add bouillon for more flavor.
  • Let the slumgullion cook on low for another 5-7 minutes. As we’ve mentioned, you can always choose to slow cook your American goulash if you’d like an even richer consistency and enhanced flavors.
  • Also, remember to stir the slumgullion frequently to prevent it from burning and sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • Once the slumgullion is ready, it is time to add in your cooked pasta of choice, whether it be penne, rigatoni, gemelli, farfalle, spaghetti, or simple macaroni.
  • Combine the pasta with the goulash, and then mix in the shredded cheddar cheese while it is still hot so the cheese melts.
  • You can also add the cheese once you plate the slumgullion, as well as fresh parsley.
