We’re all trying to be a lot more mindful about how we are cooking and eating these days. I know that in my house, we’re trying to get as much use as we can out of every item in the pantry and fridge. Very little is allowed to go to waste and using up pantry staples has become the name of the game. Goulash is one of those old-fashioned tried and true recipes that is versatile, easy, and of course… delicious!

This One-Pot Goulash is pretty standard as far as a goulash goes. Beef, lots of tomatoes, and noodles. It cooks up in just over half an hour and is enough to feed a large group or a small family twice over.

I kept this goulash a bit better-for-you by using extra lean ground beef. I normally would have used all whole wheat noodles, but since w'e’re being cautious with the pantry and mostly using up what we’re able to get from the store right now… we ended up with half whole wheat and half regular elbow noodles.

Some people like to add corn to their goulash, but sometimes less is more. If you really want to stretch this goulash out though, you could for sure add in some corn when you add in the noodles. A drained can or about a cup of frozen would do the trick!
