One pot American goulash is a simple meal that features ground beef and macaroni cooked in a flavorful tomato sauce. It is a great dinner option for busy night and your whole family will love it.
You will want a pot that is 4 quarts or larger. Place ground beef and diced onion in pan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the ground beef is browned and crumbly and the onions are translucent.
Add the garlic, bay leaves, paprika, salt, pepper, and oregano. Cook for a minute or two, or until fragrant.
Add the diced tomatoes, soy sauce, and marinara sauce to the pan. Fill the marinara jar with water and add that to the pan. Increase heat to medium high and bring to a low boil.
Add the macaroni. Cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, about 12 minutes. Keep an eye on it and add more water if needed.
