Description
A straightforward recipe for Egyptian Goulash, featuring layers of pasta, ground meat, and a simple tomato sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 12 ounces Egyptian macaroni (or similar short pasta tubes)
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat. Drain any excess fat.
- Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
- Add the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, oregano, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Cook the macaroni according to package directions until al dente. Drain well.
- In the baking dish, spread half of the cooked macaroni in an even layer.
- Spoon half of the meat sauce over the macaroni layer.
- Top with the remaining macaroni, then cover with the remaining meat sauce.
- Pour the beef broth evenly over the top layer.
- Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the top.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the liquid is mostly absorbed and the top is lightly browned.
- Let the goulash rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute ground turkey or lamb for the ground beef.
- For a richer flavor, use 1 cup of beef broth mixed with 1/2 cup of water instead of just broth.
