Crockpot Goulash

Goulash was one of those go to dishes for my mom when I was growing up. In the fall and winter when the temps outside were not so welcoming Goulash would help us all warm up. She would cook it all day and when it was supper time it was ready to eat. I hope you find this recipe a delight and who knows may also become one of your go to meals as well 

Ground Beef, 80/20 - 2 Pounds
Large Yellow Onion - 1
Large Cloves Garlic, Minced - 4
Water - 3 Cups
Canned Tomato Sauce - 2 (15 Ounce)
Canned Diced Tomatoes - 2 (14.5 Ounce)
Soy Sauce - 3 Tablespoons
Dried Oregano - 2 Tablespoons
Dried Basil - 2 Teaspoons
Dried Bay Leaves - 2
Seasoned Salt - 1 Tablespoon
Black Pepper - 1/2 Teaspoon
Elbow Macaroni, Uncooked - 2 Cups


In a large Dutch oven, cook the meat over medium heat, breaking up the meat as it cooks into small pieces. Cook until the meat is cooked through and there's no longer any pink. Stir in the onions and garlic. Cook and stir the mixture until the onions are translucent.
Stir in water, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, soy sauce, oregano, basil, bay leaves, seasoned salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the pasta, cover, and simmer over low heat until the pasta is tender, about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat, discard bay leaves, and refrigerate, if possible, overnight. If you must, you could serve. :)
