Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil or olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped (~1 cup)
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 (15-ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1 ½ cups low-sodium beef broth
  • 1 ½ teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 2 cups dry elbow macaroni

Instructions
 

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, add the oil. After heating for about 30 seconds, swirl the skillet to coat the bottom. Add the onion and garlic, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the ground beef and heat, using a spatula to break up the meat as it cooks, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the tomato paste, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, broth, and Italian seasoning; stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  • Once the mixture is simmering, stir in the pasta. Cover, and continue to simmer until the pasta is al dente, stirring occasionally. This will take 10-15 minutes, depending on the pasta type.
  • Remove from heat. Add salt and pepper, then taste and adjust seasonings as desired. NOTE: The goulash will thicken as it sits and cools slightly.
  • If desired, garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
