Ingredients for Beef Vegetable Goulash

  • Lean Ground Beef
  • Onion
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 2 cups cooked instant rice
  • Frozen Green Beans
  • Frozen Corn

How to Make Beef Vegetable Goulash

  1. Drain and rinse the kidney beans and corn. Set aside.
  2. Heat a large casserole dish or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and chopped onion. Brown the beef, breaking it up with a spoon, until cooked through.
  3. Stir in the chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to toast the spices.
  4. Add the crushed tomatoes, cooked rice, drained beans, and drained corn to the pot.
  5. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the flavors have melded.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
