Southern Style Goulash Directions:
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat.
- Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
- Stir in the green and red bell peppers and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, until they begin to soften.
- Add the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and beef broth to the pot. Stir well to combine.
- Season with paprika, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Add the diced zucchini and sliced mushrooms to the pot. Continue to simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the flavors have melded together.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve hot, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh herbs if desired.
