- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder infusing the skillet with a savory and aromatic taste, adding depth and complexity to the flavors.
- 1/2 can 14 ounces diced tomatoes, adding a tangy and slightly sweet taste to the skillet, providing a vibrant color and juiciness to the ingredients.
- 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes optional, adding a hint of heat and spiciness to the skillet, providing a mild kick for those who enjoy a bit of heat.
Instructions
- Over medium heat, cook the pork sausage and ground beef in a large skillet or pot until both are browned and cooked through. Drain off any fat from the pan.
- Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, occasionally stirring, until softened.
- Stir in diced tomatoes, tomato paste, cider vinegar, chili powder, garlic powder and red pepper flakes (if using). Simmer for 10 minutes to allow flavors to blend together.
- Add the shredded cabbage and stir it into the mixture to combine everything together well. Cover with a lid and simmer on low heat for 25-30 minutes, occasionally stirring until cabbage is tender but still firm.
- Taste and season with salt and pepper as desired. Serve hot.
Notes
– You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for the beef and pork sausage if desired.
– Add extra vegetables such as diced bell peppers, celery, carrots or potatoes to the goulash if you’d like to bulk it up a bit more.
– If you prefer a spicier goulash, add in 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper or more red pepper flakes.
