Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes
Serves: 6

Ingredients:

• 1 pound elbow macaroni
• 2 pounds ground beef
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 (15 oz) cans tomato sauce
• 2 (14.5 oz) cans petit diced tomatoes
• 1 1/2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook macaroni for 3 minutes less than the box directions, then drain.
3. Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add ground beef and onions to the pan. Break the beef apart, cooking for 6-7 minutes until browned. Drain any fat.
4. Mix in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
5. Add Worcestershire sauce, tomato sauce, and diced tomatoes. Mix until combined.
6. Stir in the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust the seasonings.
7. Mix in the cooked macaroni and cheddar cheese. If your skillet is heat-safe, you can place it in the oven for 20-25 minutes until the goulash is bubbly and the cheese is melted. If the skillet is not heat-safe, transfer the goulash to a casserole dish and bake.
8. Serve your delicious Cheesy Beef and Macaroni Goulash hot and enjoy!
