Step 4: Add the Pasta
✅ Stir in elbow macaroni and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until pasta is tender.
✅ If the goulash gets too thick, add a little extra beef broth.
Step 5: Add Cheese & Serve!
✅ Turn off the heat and stir in shredded cheese for an extra creamy finish.
✅ Garnish with fresh parsley or a dollop of sour cream.
📌 Pro Tips for the Best Goulash
✔ Use Stew Beef for a Traditional Version – If you want a more authentic Hungarian-style goulash, use cubed beef instead of ground beef and simmer longer.
✔ Don’t Overcook the Pasta – Since it continues absorbing liquid, cook it until just tender to prevent mushy pasta.
✔ Make it Spicy – Add a dash of red pepper flakes or cayenne for some heat!
✔ Store & Reheat Easily – This goulash tastes even better the next day! Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for 3 months.
