American goulash
Midwestern beef skillet
American goulash is a hearty one-pot dish of ground beef, elbow macaroni, tomatoes, and seasonings—bearing little resemblance to Hungarian goulash beyond the name.
It's comfort food associated with midcentury home cooking and church potlucks, sometimes called slumgullion or johnny marzetti: Mom's American goulash was our go-to weeknight dinner.
