- Remove the veggies from the Dutch oven add the meat See Photo. Fry meat on a high heat until the meat is browned.
- After meat has browned reduce the heat to low add Paprika, salt, Black pepper, Bay leaf, Beef broth, V8 Juice, and water See Photo. Bring to a boil then reduce heat, cover and simmer ½ hour to an hour for ground beef. If you are using diced meat or stew beef simmer 2 or 3 hours until the meat is tender.
- After the meat is tender you have made a delicious Goulash soup and it can be seasoned with salt to taste and eaten as is, but this recipe is for Macaroni Goulash, so this is were it gets a little tricky. See Photo
- In a saucepan bring 6 to 8 cups of water to a low boil. Turn the Goulash up to a boil and stir in macaroni a little at a time so the goulash never stops boiling. While adding the macaroni the broth will begin to thicken- if the broth starts to become too thick add some of the boiling water from the saucepan. Continue to add macaroni and boiling water for about 15 minutes until the macaroni is tender and the sauce is slightly thickened.
