Crock Pot Goulash

Slow-cooked goulash with beef, veggies, tomatoes, and pasta makes a flavorful and satisfying family dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 900 grams ground beef
  • 1/2 medium onion, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 2 cans (410 grams each) tomato sauce
  • 2 cans (410 grams each) diced tomatoes
  • 480 milliliters beef broth
  • 340 grams dry macaroni pasta
  • 150 grams frozen peas

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet set over medium heat, sear the ground beef until evenly browned, breaking up any clumps as it cooks.
  2. Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper to the skillet and sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 4 minutes.
  3. Transfer the beef and vegetable mixture to a 6-litre slow cooker.
  4. Add the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, and beef broth to the slow cooker. Stir thoroughly to combine.
  5. Cover and cook on high for 3.5 hours, allowing the flavours to meld.
  6. One hour before serving, cook the macaroni pasta separately according to the package directions. Drain well.
  7. Thirty minutes before serving, gently stir the cooked pasta and frozen peas into the slow cooker. Cover and allow to heat through. Serve hot, garnished as desired.

Notes

For optimal texture, keep pasta separate until just before serving to prevent overcooking.
