American Goulash

Homemade Beefaroni Recipe

lb elbow macaroni

tbsp extra virgin olive oil

onion

garlic,

Italian seasoning

29 oz canned tomato sauce (such as Hunt's)

First, cook the elbow macaroni according to package directions.

Meanwhile, add chopped onions, minced garlic and olive oil to a large frying pan. Cook on med/high heat for 5 minutes. Stir midway through.

Next, add the ground beef and break up into small pieces. Brown for 5-10 minutes.

Then, add Italian seasoning, salt, pepper and canned tomato sauce. Cook on high for 15-20 minutes. Stir occasionally.

Add meat sauce to drained elbow macaroni and stir together.

Meat Sauce

Nothing beats beefaroni made from scratch with healthy, quality ingredients—it'll take you right back to childhood, and warm your belly!

Beefaroni

cumin

paprika

garlic

white pepper

Olive or avocado oil

onion,

beef (85/15)

Salt

Black pepper

garlic, pressed through garlic press

(uncooked) elbow macaroni

chopped parsley, plus extra leaves

jack cheese

In a small ramekin, combine the cumin, paprika, granulated onion and garlic, and the white pepper; set  this seasoning mixture aside for a moment.

Place a large cast-iron skillet or other large, oven-safe pan over medium-high heat, and drizzle in about 2 tablespoons of the olive or avocado oil; once hot, add in the diced onions and saute those for about 5 minutes, until they become golden-brown and sweet smelling.

Next, crumble the ground beef into the sauteed onions, and break it up into fine crumbles with a wooden spoon or spatula; sprinkle in a couple of good pinches of salt and black pepper, along with the seasoning mixture, and cook the beef until cooked through and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes.

Add in the garlic and stir until aromatic, then add the tomato paste, stirring to incorporate.

Pour in the tomato sauce along with the diced tomatoes, add a couple more pinches of salt to make sure the flavor/seasoning level is to your liking, and allow the sauce to gently simmer on low, uncovered, for about 15-20 minutes.

While the sauce simmers, cook your elbow macaroni according to package instructions, then drain and keep warm.

Once the sauce is finished, stir in the parsley, then add in the cooked elbow macaroni, and gently stir to combine everything very well.

Top the beefaroni with the two grated cheeses, and place the skillet under the broiler for about 5 minutes, just until the cheeses are melted; top with a garnish of parsley, if desired, and serve hot!

Five main ingredients and less than thirty minutes to recreate a childhood classic of slightly-spiced pasta, beef, and sauce.

beef (extra lean)

garlic (minced)

tomato sauce (1 can)

tomatoes (1 can undrained)

beef broth (low sodium)

heavy cream

salt and pepper (to taste)

elbow macaroni (uncooked)

cheddar cheese (shredded)

mozzarella cheese (shredded)

parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Brown the Beef:

In a large skillet or saucepan, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat until no longer pink. Break up the meat with a spatula as it cooks. Drain any excess grease from the skillet.

Sauté the Aromatics:

Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the beef, and cook until the onions are translucent and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes.

Simmer the Sauce:

Stir in the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, beef broth, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Cook the Pasta:

Stir in the uncooked elbow macaroni, ensuring it's submerged in the liquid. Cover and simmer on low heat for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add Cream :

When the macaroni is close to being done but still has a slight bite to it, reduce the heat to low and stir in the ½ cup of heavy cream. Continue to cook for an additional 2-4 minutes, or until the pasta is fully cooked and the sauce has thickened to your liking. Be careful not to let the mixture come to a boil after adding the cream to prevent it from curdling.

Add Cheese:

Remove from the heat and stir in half of the cheddar and mozzarella cheeses until melted.

Melt the cheese;

Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top of the Beefaroni. Cover the skillet for a few minutes to allow the cheese to melt from the residual heat.

Garnish.

Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.

i made this a week ago and is making it again this week for my family! it was a big hit in my household, and everyone loved it! it'll be in rotation for dinners now!

Made this last night and my husband and I loved it.  The only thing I changed was I used fire roasted tomatoes since we like some extra spice.

This is a good recipe and I’ll make it again. I love the one pan/pot recipes. I will cut back the cheese and heavy cream so the end result is not so thick. Thank you.

this was really good. I made as is other than adding diced green and red peppers. Also, you can boil heavy cream without worrying about curdling (I do it all the time and have been cooking for over 50 yrs) and most sites will tell you that you can-but if you use milk or half and half, those will curdle. Just a little tidbit for you *grin*. I will definitely make this again and have already given the recipe to my sister and a friend and I just made it last night.

This Beefaroni is a blast from my college past, now a trusted ally on those hectic weeknights. It’s packed with cheesy goodness and tender pasta that everyone, especially the kids, will gobble up without a fuss.

This homemade Beefaroni recipe has ground beef and macaroni in the most delicious sauce with a hint of tomato, seasonings, and cheese!

Salt/Pepper

butter

flour

½ lb. macaroni (equal to 2 cups)

½ cup half and half

yellow mustard

ketchup

½ beef bouillon cube (see notes)

¾ teaspoon EACH: Dried oregano, basil, parsley

Combine sauce ingredients in a large measuring cup with a spout and set aside. Measure remaining ingredients before beginning.

Season the ground beef with salt/pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground beef. Cook and crumble for 3 minutes, then add the onions. Sauté until the beef is cooked through, 5-6 minutes. Drain grease and set aside on a plate.

Begin boiling a pot of water for the pasta. Add ½ tablespoon salt once a boil is reached.

Meanwhile, melt the butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic, flour, and tomato paste and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes.

Add the sauce mixture (from step 1) in small splashes, stirring continuously. Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Simmer, uncovered, while you boil the pasta to al dente, stirring occasionally as it cooks. Drain once cooked.

Gradually sprinkle the cheese into the sauce, stirring continuously. Add the ground beef/onions back to the sauce and stir to combine. Stir in the macaroni and serve!

My husband and I had this for dinner, it was delicious! I did leave out the garlic (we're not a fan) but everything else I followed exactly.I
served applesauce and cinnamon on the side since it is such a hearty dish... Thank you so much!

After eating this for dinner (me, my husband and my toddler son), there was only literally a cup left. What a winner!

I was a little unsure about this dish as I combined the sauce ingredients, but it all came together beautifully!!  I love this recipe!!  The best part, it's a delicious leftover dish!  Thank you Cozy Cook.

Great recipe. It has a bit of a rosé sauce feel to it, less tomato-y, but I don’t mind that. Will make it again!

Very good!  Thank you for this recipe.  Just what I needed

I added a can of diced tomatoes and some sciracha.  This is a great recipe and worth the few extra steps

Delicious, delicious, delicious!!!!! The best beefaroni I’ve ever had. 

I have made this recipe probably 10 times already!  It is excellent!   It’s my go-to when I want comfort food!
