Ingredients
6 oz gluten-free elbow macaroni, uncooked*
1 lb ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
1 1/2 cups ketchup, gluten-free
1 14.5 oz. can petite diced tomatoes, gluten-free
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
Prepare gluten-free elbow macaroni according to the directions on the package (except that you want to stop it from cooking a couple of minutes before fully cooked. The macaroni will finish cooking in the goulash) and drain.
In a large pot or dutch oven brown the ground beef, chopping as it browns. If you have excess grease you can drain that off. When I use grass-fed beef I normally don’t have too much grease to deal with.
Add the chopped onion to the browned ground beef and continue frying for a few minutes until the onion turns translucent.
Add the drained macaroni to the Dutch oven along with the ketchup, diced tomatoes, salt, and pepper.
Stir together and cook over medium heat until it begins to boil and then lower the heat to low and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes.

Notes
To reheat leftovers you can microwave or heat on the stovetop in a pan with a little bit of water in the bottom of the pan. Heat over medium low heat and carefully stir. Gluten-free macaroni tends to break up a little when reheated so stir and reheat carefully.
*Once the elbow macaroni cooks you should have around 4 cups.

I use gluten free Tinkyada Brown rice Elbow Pasta and it stays together for warming up next day – We love goulash but don’t have it very often living in Florida we save it for the chilly nights and tonight is going to be just that
