Traditional Goulash

In a Dutch oven or large saucepan, brown ground beef. Drain any excess grease.
1.5 pound Ground Beef
Add onion, garlic, black pepper, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and oregano. Cook for 3 – 4 minutes until the onions are soft and fragrant. Adding the dry spices at this point will help release their flavors.
1 small Onion, 3 cloves Garlic, 2 teaspoon Chili Powder, 1 teaspoon Cumin, 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder, 1 teaspoon Oregano, ½ teaspoon Black Pepper
Add diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, water, beef base, and bay leaves. Mix well and simmer for 15 minutes.
1 14 ounce Tomato Sauce, 1 26 ounce Petite Diced Tomatoes, 2 cup Water, 2 Tablespoon Beef Base, 2 Bay Leaves
Next, add pasta and cook for 7-9 minutes or until pasta is cooked through. Be sure to stir often to keep the pasta from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
3 cup Macaroni Pasta
Stir in cheese and remove from heat.
1 cup Colby Jack Cheese
Serve immediately. Remember to remove the bay leaves before serving.
