Easy Gluten-Free Goulash Recipe – American Goulash

A serving of American goulash made gluten-free.This easy gluten-free goulash recipe is one of those recipes that you need to have in your kitchen arsenal. It’s simple to make and has ingredients that you probably have on hand and it’ll be ready in 30 minutes. I’ve relied on this dish many times over the years to get a comforting meal on the table quickly. (I have tips on the gluten-free ingredients below.)

My mom and grandmothers could count on this recipe to feed their families quickly too. They knew that their families would gladly eat this satisfying meal. I know when I was little I was always excited when this was served for supper.

A big pot of comfort food. Gluten-free goulash.

Gluten-Free Ingredients for Goulash:

Gluten-Free Elbow Macaroni: In this recipe, I used Barilla Gluten-free Elbows. I do like the taste and texture of these and they are perfect in this recipe but like most gluten-free pasta it’s can fall apart a little when reheated for leftovers.

*If you have a favorite gluten-free elbow brand that holds up when reheated please leave it in the comments.

Canned Tomatoes: I used Red Gold Petite Cut Tomatoes. I really appreciate how clearly they label their products gluten-free.

Ketchup: I don’t have a favorite brand but I do look for gluten-free labeling and no high-fructose corn syrup.

Ground beef: I use grass-fed beef whenever possible.

Onion, salt, and pepper.

How to Make Easy Gluten-Free Goulash:

Prepare gluten-free elbow macaroni according to directions on the package (except that you want to stop it 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.

A delicious gluten-free meal.

Description

Your family will love this yummy dish and you’ll love the how easy it is to make.


Ingredients

Scale

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 diced tomatoes, gluten-free
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper


Instructions

Prepare gluten-free elbow macaroni according to directions on the package (except that you want to stop it 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 any excess grease spoon it out into a heat-proof cup and discard after it cools.)

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 ground beef 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, stirring occasionally.

Enjoy.


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.
