One of the main differences between Hungarian goulash and American goulash is that American goulash uses ground beef.
2 pounds ground beef
1 large onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 green bell pepper, diced (optional)
6 ounces tomato paste
1/2 cup water
1 (24-ounce) can or jar pasta sauce
28 ounces diced tomatoes, undrained
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
8 ounces canned mushrooms, undrained
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt, or to taste
3 cups elbow macaroni, uncooked
