GOULASH
Not to be confused with the Hungarian dish of paprika-spiced stewed meat and vegetables, this American version of goulash, also referred to as "slumgullion," is made with ground beef and pasta. The beef is cooked down with plenty of aromatics and spices and combined with tomatoes, pasta, and cheese to create the perfect comfort meal. We added paprika to the dish in a nod to its Hungarian counterpart.

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add the beef and cook, stirring and breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until browned and no longer pink, about 8 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon salt, a few grinds of pepper, the paprika, and Italian seasoning to the beef and stir to combine. Cook, stirring, until the paprika begins to toast and become fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir the tomato paste into the beef mixture to coat, then cook until the paste thickens and deepens in color, about 2 minutes.
- Add the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, Worcestershire and beef broth to the beef mixture and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot, to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to medium low and add the cavatappi. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Remove the pot from the heat. Gently stir in the parsley and Cheddar until combined and the cheese starts to melt. Divide the goulash among 6 bowls and top with more shredded Cheddar and chopped parsley.

GROUND TURKEY PAPRIKASH-GOULASH WITH MACARONI
Steps:
- Bring a pot of water to a boil for the pasta. When it comes to a boil, add the pasta and salt to season the cooking water. Cook the pasta for 6 minutes, al dente.
- While the water comes to a boil and the pasta cooks, heat a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the EVOO, then butter, then ground meat. Break up the meat and crumble, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic, onion, bell pepper, and seasonings to the turkey. Cook for 5 or 6 minutes, then add the chicken stock and sour cream. Bring to a bubble and reduce heat to low.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ground turkey: Opt for ground turkey that is fresh and has a low fat content. This will ensure that your goulash is flavorful and not greasy.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When browning the ground turkey, make sure to do it in batches if necessary. Overcrowding the pan will prevent the turkey from browning evenly and will result in a soggy goulash.
- Use a good quality paprika: Paprika is the key ingredient in this recipe, so be sure to use a good quality variety. Hungarian paprika is a good option, as it has a rich, smoky flavor.
- Simmer the goulash for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer it, the better it will taste.
- Serve with your favorite sides: Goulash is traditionally served with egg noodles, but you can also serve it with rice, mashed potatoes, or your favorite bread.
