Southern Goulash Recipe

1. Brown the Meat:
• In a large skillet, cook the ground chuck along with the chopped onion and bell pepper until browned.
2. Add Tomatoes and Seasoning:
• Stir in the stewed tomatoes, tomato sauce, sugar, Italian seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, seasoning salt, garlic salt, black pepper, and Cajun seasoning (if using).
3. Cook the Macaroni:
• Add the uncooked elbow macaroni and water to the skillet.
• Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, stirring well to prevent sticking.
• Cover and simmer until the macaroni is tender and most of the water has been absorbed, adjusting water as needed to reach the desired consistency.
4. Add Cheese:
• Just before serving, stir in the Parmesan cheese and top with shredded cheddar cheese.
• If your skillet is oven-proof, you can place it under the broiler for a few minutes to melt and slightly brown the cheese, or cover with a lid on the stove until the cheese melts.
