How to Make Spicy Ground Beef Goulash
- Brown 1 lb ground beef in a large skillet (or 2-3 quart pan) over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
- Return the browned beef to the skillet.
- Add 1 cup water, 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Cook until the onion is softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chilies (Rotel), undrained, and 1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove stems from 1/2 cup cherry peppers. Tear into small pieces and remove seeds if desired. Add to the meat mixture along with 1-2 tablespoons of the pepper juice.
- Continue to simmer covered while you cook 1 lb pasta according to package directions, slightly more firm than al dente.
- Add the cooked pasta to the meat mixture, ensuring there is just enough liquid to cover the noodles.
- Continue to simmer, covered, until the liquid is absorbed and the sauce has thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Serve the goulash over crushed corn chips. Garnish with fresh cilantro or a dollop of sour cream for extra flair. Serve alongside a fresh salad for a complete meal.
