How to Make Aunt Cecil's Goulash

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chopped onion and green bell pepper; cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Stir in garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  4. While the beef is cooking, cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain well.
  5. Add the tomato sauce to the skillet with the beef and vegetables. Bring to a simmer.
  6. Stir in the cooked pasta and half of the shredded cheese.
  7. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and the cheese is melted and gooey.
  8. Stir in the remaining cheese and serve immediately with a side salad and crusty rolls.
