📝 Preparation Steps
1
Brown the ground beef. Add the ground beef to a large skillet along with the minced garlic. Cook it over medium heat, breaking it up with the bottom of a wooden spoon, crumbling it as it cooks. Once the meat is browned and no pink remains, remove it from the heat and drain off any grease.
minced garlic (about 4-6 cloves)2 tablespoons(28oz) crushed tomatoes (or diced tomatoes)1 can(15oz) diced tomatoes1 can(15oz) tomato sauce ( or good quality pizza sauce*)1 can
2
Assemble in the Slow Cooker. Add the ground beef to the slow cooker, along with the crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, broth, wine (if using), cheese, onion, bell pepper, worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, paprika, Italian seasoning, and salt.

3
Cook on LOW for ⏱️ 6 hours – or on HIGH for ⏱️ 3 hours. Stir everything together place the lid on your Crock Pot. Cook on low, or on high, depending on when you would like to eat dinner.
4
Add the pasta. There are two ways to add the pasta. You can stir the uncooked pasta into the goulash during the final hour of cooking (or ⏱️ 30 minutes if set on high), or you can cook the pasta separately and add it in towards the end. The choice is yours, but testers preferred the pasta that was cooked IN the slow cooker, which is great because it’s also the easiest option!
5
Serve and enjoy. Once the pasta is tender, taste the goulash and adjust the salt and seasonings to your liking. Garnish with fresh parsley (if desired) and ladle into bowls. Top individual servings with a sprinkle of shredded cheese – this is the way I grew up eating it, but it’s not mandatory!
