Texas Goulash Recipe

🧂 Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 pounds 85/15 ground beef
• 1 large peeled small diced yellow onion
• 1 seeded small diced poblano pepper
• 1 seeded small diced red bell pepper
• 4 finely minced garlic cloves
• 1 cup corn kernels
• 1 cup diced fresh tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons chili seasoning
• 1 cup tomato puree
• 2 cups beef stock
• 8 ounces American cheese

  cut into 1” cubes
• 1 pound macaroni noodles

Instructions

• 1 Add the oil to a large rondeau or Dutch oven pot over high heat. Once it begins
  to lightly smoke, add the ground beef and cook while frequently stirring and
  breaking up the meat for 8 to 10 minutes or until it’s browned and cooked
  throughout.
• 2 Set the beef to the side and then add the onion to the pot with the rendered
  meat fat, gently season with salt, and sauté over medium heat for 5 minutes.
  Turn the heat down to low and occasionally stir for 10 more minutes until well
  browned.
• 3 Next, add the peppers and saute over medium heat for 5 minutes or until lightly
  browned.
• 4 Stir in the garlic and corn and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Add in the tomatoes and
  then stir in the chili seasoning. Mix to combine.
• 5 Next, pour in the tomato puree, cooked beef, and beef stock. Adjust any
  seasonings with more chili seasoning and cook over low to medium heat for 30
  minutes.
• 6 In the meantime, boil the macaroni in a pot of salted boiling water until al
  dente. Drain under cold water and then toss in a container with a small amount
  of oil to keep it from sticking. Set it aside.
• 7 Finish the beef mixture by stirring in the cheese cubes and mix until it is
  completely melted.
• 8 If you are serving right away, add the macaroni and mix until combined. If you
  are waiting until later, it’s best to serve the noodles in individual portions
  in a bowl and mix in some of the Texas goulash. Optionally garnish with shredded
  cheese and sliced green onions.
