One Pot Cheesy Goulash

One-pot cheesy goulash is a hearty and delicious recipe loaded with beef, pasta simmered in a tomato sauce for an easy weeknight meal.
One-pot goulash is a breeze to make and packed full of flavor. Perfect for cold winter months, this is one of my family’s favorite comfort meals and so easy like my One Pan Pork Tenderloin and Vegetables. This Goulash is our take on the traditional recipe with ground beef, elbow macaroni, and tomato sauce.

How do I store the One-pot Goulash?

You can store any leftover Goulash in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.

Do I have to use ground beef?

Feel free to replace the ground beef with ground chicken or ground turkey, if desired. I recommend switching the beef bouillon cubes with chicken bouillon cubes as well.

Can you freeze goulash?

If you want to freeze goulash I recommend leaving out the pasta and freezing the meat sauce. Then when you want to serve it just cook pasta according to the package direction and mix the pasta.

Tips for making one-pot goulash!

• Don’t overcook the pasta
• Use fresh grated cheese pre-grated cheese doesn’t melt as smoothly.
• You can swap out the macaroni pasta for whatever you have on hand
• You can swap the ground beef out for ground turkey for a healthier version
• I use a 7qt cast iron pot, but any large pot will do.
