Creating Old Fashioned Goulash is a delightfully simple process. Follow these easy steps for a comforting meal the entire family will enjoy:

1. Brown the Beef: In a large pot over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Drain excess fat if necessary.
2. Add Onions and Garlic: Stir in the chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook until the onion is soft and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Incorporate Sauce and Tomatoes: Add the tomato sauce and diced tomatoes to the pot. Stir to combine.
4. Add Broth and Seasoning: Pour in the beef broth, and add the Italian seasoning and paprika. Mix well.
5. Stir in Macaroni: Add the elbow macaroni to the pot, stirring to ensure it’s submerged.
6. Simmer: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the macaroni is tender.
7. Season to Taste: Taste the goulash and add salt and pepper as needed for flavor.
8. Serve: Remove the pot from heat. If desired, top with grated cheese and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
