This American venison goulash is a one pot meal, making it easy to create a hearty meal that's perfect for a cold winter's day (or any time of the year.)
- 1 pound ground venison or your preferred ground meat
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 cups water divided
- 2 15 oz cans tomato sauce
- 2 14.5 oz cans diced tomatoes
- ¼ tsp italian seasoning
- ¼ tsp dried oregano
- sprinkle of fennel optional
- 2 dried bay leaves
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp ground black pepper
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
- 2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni
In a large skillet, add a few tablespoons of olive oil to your skillet. Add diced onions and garlic. Took until the onions until translucent.
Add ground venison and cook until meat is cooked through.
Add 1 cup of water, 30 ounces of canned tomato sauce, 29 ounces of diced tomatoes, and spices. Simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add 2 cups of uncooked elbow macaroni. Continue cooking on medium-low heat. Stir on occasion. As the pasta absorbs the water and the sauce begins to thicken, add additional water one cup at a time for a total of 3 cups of water. Cook until the pasta reaches your desired doneness, about 25-30 minutes.
Remove bay leaves, top with cheddar cheese and serve.
