Southern Beef and Sausage Goulash
Don't you just love goulash? Now, of course, I'm talking about what we Americans refer to as goulash here, and not anything remotely resembling an authentic Hungarian goulash. Pasta, ground beef, Italian sausage, tomato, a bit of garlic, and in this case, The Trinity, a bit of Cajun seasoning, and some mild andouille sausage to southernize it just a tad, making it even better. Total comfort food, and ... it's all stovetop! So it's a quick & easy meal that is delicious. If you're looking for a very basic American goulash I've got that too!

Recipe: Southern Beef and Sausage Goulash
©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 15 min |Cook time: 35 min | Yield: About 4 to 6 servings
Ingredients
Instructions
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1/2 cup of chopped celery
- 1/2 cup of chopped green bell pepper
- 1/2 of a large onion, chopped
- 1 pound of ground beef
- 1/2 pound of Italian sausage
- 1/4 pound of andouille sausage, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 2 large pinches of kosher salt
- 8 turns of the pepper grinder
- 1/2 teaspoon of Cajun seasoning (like Slap Ya Mama)
- 1 (8 ounce) can of tomato sauce
- 1 can of Rotel diced tomatoes
- 1 (14.5 ounce) can of stewed tomatoes
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 tablespoon of dried parsley
- 2 cups of beef broth
- 2 cups of uncooked, elbow macaroni noodles
Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat; saute the celery, green pepper and onion until softened. Add the ground beef and Italian sausage, cooking over medium high heat, until lightly browned and cooked through, breaking up the meat as it cooks. Add the andouille sausage and the garlic, stir and cook another 3 minutes. Add the Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and Cajun seasoning, stir and cook another minute.
Stir in the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, stewed tomatoes, bay leaves and parsley, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 15 minutes. Add the beef broth and pasta, bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes or until noodles are tender and liquids have reduced. Taste, adjust seasonings as needed, remove and discard bay leaves, and serve with a nice side salad and a green veggie.
A side of this fantastic Cheesy Garlic Bread wouldn't hurt either. Oh my gosh is that stuff to die for!

I love southern style food. I will have to try this for sure.
ReplyDeleteOh yummy, I love goulash! Perfect dish for when you worked overtime and the kids are starving. Of course yours would be 'southernized', and boy does it looks great. Can't wait for your Deep South cookbook review.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a perfect meal for a cold winter day!

Ahhh! This is making me so hungry! Certainly comfort food at its finest! Going to see if I can round up the ingredients for this tonight.
ReplyDeleteMy sister and I were just talking about goulash the other day. Everyone has a different "definition" of goulash. It can be ANYTHING! However, you would think that since we grew up in the same house, we would both identify it similarly. But we don't. We have VERY different ideas of what goulash is!
ReplyDeleteI grew up on this stuff always made with hamburger meat. Sausage seams like such an improvement even boudan with it's game and rice. But we alwys had corn bread on the side. I'll never forget good ole goulash.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous comfort food! I love the recipe and great shot. Makes the chili mac I made last week look kinda pitiful:)
ReplyDeleteI love any goulash. This sounds so good.
ReplyDeletei do indeed love goulash...
ReplyDeleteAll that ... STUFF, yum
This and the garlic bread you linked too sound so fantastic!
ReplyDeleteIt is 8:30 am, I am having coffee, and would just love a bowl of this
ReplyDeletegoulash..what is not to love about the andoulle (sp) sausage? This is looking real good...
is there anything better than comfort food? besided desert?
Wow Mary, this recipe is awesome...love it.
ReplyDeleteThat looks amazing! I am going to make this next week. I wish I had some today for lunch.
ReplyDeleteWhy have I never thought of putting sausage in my goulash? Genius!
ReplyDeleteI love this dish, but it's been awhile - your's looks delicious and I must have it soon.
ReplyDeleteYes I do love a good Goulash, esp in this cold wet weather we are having. I have got to make this soon!
ReplyDeleteCooking up a nice pot of your Southern Ground Beef and Sausage Goulash with some cheese toast and as one of my old coaches would have said,"Mighty fine. Mighty fine."
ReplyDeleteThank you so much - enjoy!
ReplyDeleteOk, I think everytime I make something of yours I have to leave a comment! LOL! I JUST made this and it looks and smells AMAZING!!!!! I used wagon wheel pasta instead of elbow so that my 2year old son would eat it. but I had a question for you....was I supposed to drain my tomato products? I went ahead and drained them and it looks just fine. Anyhow, I know this is gonna be great! Oh and I made the cheesy garlic bread too....we had a whole loaf of French bread on hand..go figure! Well as always, thanks for sharing all your recipes. They are great!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tiffny - it's undrained but it's really not that much liquid so I'm sure that it will be fine - just less juicy LOL! Enjoy!!
ReplyDeleteThis looks so good. I am a one person household and shy away from dishes with the pasta already in it. I am afraid the pasta will continue to absurd the liquid being stored. That said, how does this do as a leftover. I may try to make it up to the add the pasta point and freeze half and finish up half. Hmmmmmm........
ReplyDeleteHi Karen! Yes, most of the recipes you find here will be for an average family, but my husband and I eat and reheat leftovers of these recipes ourselves! On the bigger yield recipes like soup & jambalaya, I very often freeze leftovers myself. I do know what you mean about pasta absorbing the liquid, which is the very reason why I do my pasta separate with soups.
ReplyDeleteThis is more of a pasta skillet meal though, so the intention is actually for the pasta to absorb the sauce, kinda of like a homemade hamburger helper so to speak. I see no reason you couldn't separate the process if you prefer though. Just boil the pasta separately and stir the meat sauce and pasta together in the end and then, you can freeze the meat sauce leftovers alone, and make fresh pasta when you thaw.
Thanks Mary! I wanted to cook the pasta in the sauce. Just thought I might stop right before the pasta and freeze half mthat way, I could add half the pasta and broth and have a smaller quantity And enough for a second, add the pasta and broth. :).
ReplyDeleteThanks Mary. I did plan to Cooke the pasta in the sauce, just do half. I figured I could put half the sauce in the freezer and be able to add pasta and broth once it is thawed. I may try it and report back.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome & yes, please do let me know!
ReplyDeleteMade this last night and it was really good! Left out the andouille sausage though - not too familiar with that yet, and they didn't have it where I did my shopping yesterday. Thanks for another great recipe!
ReplyDeleteAndouille is a spicy Cajun style version of smoked sausage. Adds a bit of heat to the dish. You could also sub in regular smoked sausage. Glad y'all enjoyed it Val - thanks so much for stopping back by to let me know!
DeleteHi Mary, I'm making this dish for the first time tonight, actually it's the first dish that I will be making from your site. I just came across your site last night while trying to find a recipe for collard greens and ham hocks to go with some fried chicken that my wife was making me for my birthday. But I was wondering if that was 2 cups of mac using a dry measuring cup or liquid measuring cup cause there is a difference in size. This is my new favorite food site because you have all the yummy stuff that I like eating being a boy from Oklahoma. Thanks and God bless.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much James & I hope that you come back to visit often! I usually grab whatever is closest I suppose, but I think that any difference between the two measures is really negligible enough that it doesn't make a difference in a pasta dish like this.
