Here's a go-to goulash for you. Beef, onions, and bell peppers sauteed and baked with pasta sauce and macaroni. Cover the whole thing with mozzarella and everything just ties together.

ingredients
2 pounds ground beef
1 small onion, chopped
1/2 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 jar (28 ounce size) spaghetti sauce
8 ounces uncooked elbow macaroni
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 2 1/2 quart baking dish.
Brown the ground beef, onion, and bell pepper in a large skillet over medium high heat. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring frequently, until the beef is no longer pink. Drain off excess grease.
Stir the spaghetti sauce, pasta, water, garlic salt, and black pepper into the beef mixture. Mix well then pour it into the greased baking dish.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake at 350 degrees F for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and sprinkle the top of the pasta evenly with the Mozzarella. Return to the oven and bake, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the goulash is bubbly.
Serve hot.

Love this recipe. It's a "go to" dish on busy days or when I just don't have another plan already for dinner. Whole family loves it.

I didn't read the recipe right and had started cooking the macaroni before I saw that it said to add it uncooked. I cooked it aldente instead and omitted the water from the recipe and baked it and did everything else as directed. It turned out delicious!
Delicious but why did at least half of my noodles almost disintegrate? I stirred 1/2 thru so noodles on top would not get crusty and underneath a lot of noodles looked like melted cheese. Ended up with mostly hamburger and the sauce. Next I make it I think I'll cook noodles first and maybe even double the noodles, forget the water - and liked the idea of adding a can of diced tomatoes. I've never hear of the one ingredient a lot of people were adding - can't remember the name now as not on that page.

This was a great recipe, and there really are many variations you could do with this particular dish. Velveeta cheese thinned out with a little bit of milk makes for super cheesy, which my little brothers and I like to do, or you could half and half spicy italian sausage with the beef (awesome), or omit the beef and just add diced pieces of polish sausage with jalapeno, and rice instead of the noodles. Thanks for this!

do you let the macaroni get soft or do you just pour the whole thing into a pan and it will harden by itself in the oven?

I am a cook for a childcare center and I cooked this for about 60 Kids. They LOVED it!! I did not get much of anything back on the plates! I cooked the recipe as directed except I put a couple cans of Rotel just for a little more flavor.. Very good Recipe!

Great recipe...awesome add ins, to save time, I cooked the macaronii according to the directions on the box (taking 5 min. off) while browning the meat, mixed it all together, topped it with cheese and baked for 10-15 min instead of 30-45

My husband said he never liked goulash until I made this recipt. It was soo yummy. I had 2 helpings, and so did he. Just great!!!!!
Is it me or does this sound just like the macaroni we used to get in the school cafeteria lunch? I loved it!

made this on a work night, used Amish homemade noodles and it was just like a baked spagetti but juicier. Hubby is a spagetti fan, now he loves this! So easy:)

My husband said that this was the best goulash that I had ever made. It was thick and had a lot of flavor. We used our own canned spaghetti sauce which probably had it's own flavor.

This dish was easy, quick, and very tasty. No at all exspensive to make. I added a can of Ro-tel to spice it up a little.

I really liked this ! I think it was perfect as written...I warmed it the next day and added alittle more sauce to loosen it up a little bit...great recipe ...Thanks !!!

Very good! Only issue I had was the macaroni near the top didn't get soft... I recommend stirring it a bit when you take it out to add the cheese.

This recipe was pretty good. I used Mexican cheese instead of Mozzarella and added some cayenne pepper for a little kick. I'll definitely be making it again!

This is really a great recipe. Not only is it good, but it's also easy. I don't cook much, and my husband is a very picky eater. He does like goulash, though, so I've been searching for a good recipe. I think I've found it! He says it's "delicious", which is as high praise as ever comes from him! I used 1 tsp. of garlic salt, and it was fine for me, but my husband did add some later. Also, on the suggestion of others here, I added a can of diced tomatoes, drained. I used chunky Prego spaghetti sauce, the tomato, garlic, and onion variety. It was just right. I will be making this goulash again. Thanks for making my family happy!

I used two kinds of cooked leftover pasta from "pasta night," linguini and rotini. In addition to the ingredients listed I added a dash each of marjoram, allspice and paprika, a can of diced tomatoes, three minced garlic cloves and some bacon chips. Baked it at 350 for one half hour and then put the moozarella on top. The men in the house raved about it.

great and easy recipe. as for the one who complained about the garlic, always measure to your liking. it was great and we loved it.

This is a great recipe! I am not a huge fan of goulash to begin with but this was a delicious recipe!! It is also very easy to make.
will never make this exact receipe again. I had to throw it out. The receipe called for a tablespoon of garlic salt and it was so salty that we could not eat it

This is delicious!!! I've also put a can of italian diced tomatoes in with the sauce. Great recipe!
velveeta cheese makes it better

Yummyyy. Not expensive at all to make and delishous. I added some diced tomatoes into it to make the sauce a little chunkier and I thought it came out awesome.
