Goulash, American step by step

1. Dice the onion add to the ground sirloin and cook with the beef. Dice up the pepper and gather the minced garlic. I used an old fashioned potato masher to mash the meat into small pieces. Cook the pasta according to directions on the package..
2. There is a lot of juices so I drained it. Keep simmering the onion and ground sirloin..
3. Add the pepper and garlic. Simmer 10 minutes. Add the rest of the seasonings. Simmer 10 minutes. Add the tomatoes..
4. Stir in and simmer 7 minutes then add the sauce. Simmer 20 minutes. Now add the honey stir in and taste. Spoon the pasta over and add a 1/2 cup of the pasta water. Don't adjust the salt till after you add the grated Parmesan cheese. Add the cheese stir often for 5 minutes. Taste and adjust the flavors..
5. Let rest covered for about 10 minutes. Serve and add toppings if desired. I hope you enjoy!!!.

The pasta cooks right in the sauce, so this satisfying dish can cook in just one pot. American goulash is made with a tomato baste, ground beef, and elbow macaroni. Topped with a variety of seasoning to give it that rich, savory flavor. I actually remember eating this in elementary school. One of my favorites back when school lunches were actually good.
