Easy Goulash Recipe

This easy goulash recipe will have a dinner everyone likes on the table with minimal fuss.

Goulash is one of those feel-good comfort foods you always like coming home to at the end of a long day. It’s got great flavor, it’s satisfying, and it’s not hard to make. It has that perfect trifecta happening, and we all love those! The only thing better would be if somebody made it FOR me!

But seeing as Mini Chef is always busy with homework after school, I must get it all done. I don’t mind, of course, because I love to cook. But I also don’t mind because this recipe is so darn easy. One pot for the pasta and one pan for the meat, and you’re in business!

You basically make the meat while the pasta cooks. The meat is super easy to make too. So this whole recipe comes together in about 30-40 minutes, depending on the pasta you use. (The brown rice pasta I use cooks faster than regular, whole-grain pasta.)

This is also great for lunch the next day! Just pack it with an ice pack to keep the meat safe. Beyond that, it makes an excellent lunch, and my not-so-little guy sure had no complaints!

      Kelsey – In my experience, home cooked pasta gets “mealy” when it’s frozen. But that could just be me. Other then that, yes, you can freeze it.
