Add 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes or a pinch of cayenne pepper along with the other spices for a kick of heat.
Stir in 1/2 cup of sour cream or heavy cream at the very end (off the heat) for a richer, creamier sauce.

American Goulash is a pasta-and-meat dish with a tomato-based sauce, often made with ground beef and elbow macaroni or egg noodles. Traditional Hungarian Goulash is a slow-cooked stew of tender beef chunks, onions, and lots of paprika, typically served over dumplings or potatoes, not mixed with pasta.
Absolutely! While egg noodles are classic, elbow macaroni is also very common. Shells, rotini, or any short pasta that can hold sauce well will work. Adjust cooking time according to package directions.
Yes. Brown the beef, onion, and garlic on the stovetop first, then transfer to the slow cooker. Add all sauce ingredients and cook on low for 4-6 hours. Cook the noodles separately and stir them in before serving.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of beef broth or water to loosen the sauce, as the noodles will have absorbed more liquid.
