Creating Classic Goulash is effortless if you follow these steps:

1. Brown the Meat: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned. Drain excess fat if necessary.
2. Add Vegetables: Stir in the chopped onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
3. Mix Ingredients: Add the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, and Italian seasoning. Stir well to combine.
4. Add Pasta: Bring the mixture to a boil, then add the elbow macaroni. Stir and reduce the heat to low.
5. Simmer: Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. You want the pasta to be cooked al dente and absorb the flavors.
6. Season: Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
7. Add Cheese: If desired, sprinkle shredded cheese on top and cover for a few minutes until melted.
8. Garnish: Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
