CHEF JOHN'S AMERICAN GOULASH

Steps:

• Heat oil in a pot over medium-high heat. Add onion and ground beef. Cook, breaking the meat into small pieces, until browned, about 5 minutes. Cook and stir until liquid is evaporated, 3 to 5 minutes more. Add garlic, salt, black pepper, cayenne, paprika, Italian seasoning, and bay leaves.
• Cook and stir until flavors come together, about 3 minutes. Pour in chicken broth, diced tomatoes, and marinara sauce. Rinse out the jar with 1 cup water and pour into the pot. Add soy sauce, stir, and bring soup to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium and simmer to let flavors intensify, about 30 minutes.
• Increase heat to medium-high and bring soup to a simmer. Add macaroni; simmer, stirring occasionally, until just barely tender, about 12 minutes. Check for doneness after 10 minutes.
• Remove goulash from heat. Discard bay leaves; stir in parsley and Cheddar cheese. Cover and let rest for 5 minutes. Taste and season as desired.

Steps:

• Brown and crumble ground beef along with diced onions and pepper in a large skillet. Cook until meat is fully cooked and onions and peppers are softened. Drain excess grease. Note: Many slow cookers have a sauté option. Please feel free to use this option on your slow cooker for less dirty dishes.
• Add ground beef mixture into a 4-6 quart slow cooker.
• Stir in garlic, pasta sauce, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, water, Italian seasoning and sugar. (DO NOT ADD MACARONI NOODLES YET)
• Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for about 2-4 hours. Everything is already cooked so we're basically just letting everything simmer and for the flavors to come together.
• During the last hour of cooking, add in the macaroni noodles and stir. Cover again. Cook until noodles are al dente (or softer if you prefer).
• Then serve! We enjoy eating this with some fresh garlic bread and a salad.
