This Hearty Crockpot Goulash brings together browned ground beef, onions, garlic, tomatoes, and flavorful seasonings in one cozy slow-cooker meal. The sauce simmers gently for hours, allowing all those wonderful flavors to blend together.
Tender elbow macaroni is added near the end, soaking up the rich tomato sauce without becoming overly soft.
