We make this treasured family goulash recipe using squash from our own backyard. The chili powder and cayenne really warm you up! —Allison Wilmarth, Forest City, Pennsylvania

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 pound lean ground beef (90% lean)
  • 1 large red pepper, chopped
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1 can (28 ounces) no-salt-added crushed tomatoes
  • 1-1/2 cups peeled butternut squash, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1 can (8 ounces) no-salt-added tomato sauce
  • 1 cup reduced-sodium beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 cups chopped zucchini
  • Shredded cheddar cheese, optional

Directions

  1. In a Dutch oven, heat butter over medium-high heat. Add beef, red pepper and onion; cook, crumbling beef, until meat is no longer pink and vegetables are tender, 6-8 minutes; drain.
  2. Add the next eight ingredients. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to low. Simmer, covered, about 20 minutes; add zucchini. Continue simmering until vegetables are tender, another 20-25 minutes. Just before serving, sprinkle with cheese if desired.
