# Instructions:
01 -
Brown the ground beef and diced onion in a large skillet over medium heat. Season with salt, pepper, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and paprika while it cooks.

Once the meat is browned, drain off any excess grease. Add the minced garlic and Worcestershire sauce. Stir in the two cans of tomato sauce, the can of diced tomatoes, beef broth, and elbow macaroni.

Stir everything together well and place the two bay leaves on top. Let it start to bubble, then turn the heat down to medium-low. Cover with a lid and let it cook for 12 to 15 minutes or until the pasta is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
04 -
Remove the bay leaves and give everything a good stir. Serve hot and top with shredded cheddar cheese. Enjoy this comforting one-pan meal!
# Notes:
01 -
This is a true one-pan meal - everything cooks together in one skillet!
02 -
Make sure to stir occasionally to prevent the pasta from sticking to the bottom.
03 -
Don't forget to remove the bay leaves before serving - they're not meant to be eaten!
04 -
Leftovers keep in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat beautifully.
05 -
You can add more or less beef broth depending on how saucy you like your goulash.
