Low Carb Goulash (American Chop Suey)
This easy to make low carb goulash (American Chop Suey) recipe is the perfect weeknight meal for all of your little ghouls!
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs ground beef
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 1/2 cup beef bone broth (or more as needed) *SEE NOTES
- 1 15-ounce can crushed tomatoes
- 1 15-ounce can diced tomatoes
- 3 tbsp tomato paste
- 2 tbsp paprika
- 1 tbsp ground cumin
- 1 tbsp marjoram
- 2 organic bay leaves
- 1/2 to 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- pink salt
- cracked black pepper
- 8 ounces low carb elbow pasta
- 1 cup cheddar or mozzarella cheese shredded (optional)
- sour cream (optional)
- fresh flat-leaf parsley chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Saute the ground beef in a dutch oven, over medium-high heat, until no pink remains.
- Add the onions and garlic. Stirring occasionally, cook until the onions are translucent, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Add the bone broth, crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, paprika, cumin, marjoram, crushed red pepper flake, and bay leaves to the pot. Season with salt and pepper. Stir well. Place a lid on the pot and cook for 20 minutes.
- Remove the lid and add the pasta. Replace the lid and cook for an additional 20 minutes. Stirring occasionally to prevent the pasta from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- Remove the lid and cook for an additional 10 minutes or until the sauce has thickened up.
- Stir in the shredded cheese if using.
- Top with a dollop of sour cream, chopped parsley, and a sprinkle of paprika if desired.
Notes
You can use water in place of the bone broth but it will not be as flavorful.
Do not use any low carb pasta made with lupini beans for this recipe as it gives off a bitter taste in the water as it cooks and will not work well with a one-pot recipe.
