It\u2019s not often that I use wine in my cooking because it can be pretty pricey, but something magical happens when you add red wine to beef, and it\u2019s something that I just can not resist. Luckily, I live near an Aldi store now, so I can get a bottle of wine for about $5 that is not only good to cook with but good enough that I\u2019ll happily drink the rest of the bottle with my meal. This One Pot American Goulash is the ultimate comfort food with the richest, most yummiest red sauce ever, thanks to a splash of red wine. Seriously, you\u2019ve got to try this one.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"more-13418\"\/><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1600\" data-pin-description=\"This easy one pot version of American Goulash cooks the pasta and beef in the same pot with a homemade red wine tomato sauce for extra flavor.

It\u2019s totally different than Hungarian goulash, which has chunks of beef that has been slowly simmered in a paprika sauce. This one is straight up American comfort food! The beef is browned until it\u2019s perfectly savory, the macaroni soaks up all that rich, tomatoey goodness, and the red wine adds just the right depth of flavor to make it taste like it\u2019s been simmering all day\u2026even though it comes together in MUCH less time. Trust me, once you take that first bite, you\u2019ll wonder where this recipe has been all your life!<\/p>\n<div class=\"block-area block-area-before-recipe\">\n<div class=\"dpsp-post-pinterest-image-hidden\" style=\"display: none;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"1200\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.budgetbytes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/American-Goulash-PIN2.jpg\" data-pin-title=\"Oh My Goulash!

But if you can\u2019t use red wine, you <em>can<\/em> substitute beef broth in its place. You\u2019ll still have a pretty rockin\u2019 red sauce, but it just won\u2019t be like \u201cmake me weak in the knees\u201d good.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add some cheese.<\/strong> A common twist on this old-fashioned goulash recipe is added cheese. I would choose medium or sharp cheddar and simply sprinkle it over top of each bowl or stir it into the pot to give an overall cheesy flavor, similar to my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.budgetbytes.com\/cheesy-vegetarian-chili-mac\/\">Cheesy Vegetarian Chili Mac<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use a large, heavy-duty soup pot. <\/strong>For \u201cone-pot pastas,\u201d you really need cookware that is thick and heavy so the contents heat evenly. Thin cookware will create hot spots and cold spots and cause the pasta to cook unevenly. I used an enamel-coated cast iron Dutch Oven for this recipe.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Simmer before adding the pasta.<\/strong> I simmer the meat, veggies, and sauce together to intensify the flavors (and cook down the acidity of the tomatoes) before adding the pasta. This stops the pasta from getting too mushy while the sauce continues to simmer and thicken.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make it your own. <\/strong>This dish is very versatile, so feel free to add in more vegetables, such as mushrooms or spinach. You can also add more or less seasonings to taste!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"block-callout__icon-arrow\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"67\" height=\"36\" viewbox=\"0 0 67 36\"><path d=\"M31.035 17.043c-3.032.319-6.09.472-9.14.533-3.992.078-4.45-.045-4.324-4.172.013-.417.264-1.964.016-2.414-.696.302-11.452 6.87-15.961 9.782-1.537.993-2.514 2.284-.449 3.634 5.249 3.434 10.586 7.278 16.228 10.867.113-1.732-.085-3.01-.05-3.473.346-4.76 1.026-3.911 5.6-4.417 6.997-.775 14.1-1.037 20.968-2.44 12.123-2.472 20.075-9.7 22.58-22.176.12-.59.156-1.198.32-2.494C57.853 13.2 44.654 15.61 31.034 17.043Z\" fill=\"#000\" fill-rule=\"evenodd\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-serving-suggestions\"><strong>Serving Suggestions<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>I would consider this a \u201cone pot meal,\u201d which means this one dish covers everything you need in a meal: carbs, proteins, and vegetables.
