Goulash Origin:

For me, the goulash origin is my grandma! Goulash brings back so many childhood memories for me. When I was growing up we visited my Grandma’s house on Sunday for a family dinner. Goulash was one of my favorite meals. It’s comfort food to me. That is why I had to make this Weight Watchers Goulash recipe and add a bit of a southwestern flair.

Can I freeze this goulash recipe?

You can make this Weight Watchers Goulash recipe and freeze it too. This casserole will make a great dinner and you can take the leftovers for lunch later in the week. It reheats well so you can just thaw it out or even put it frozen back into the crockpot to warm up throughout the day and be ready when you get home from work.

Healthy Weight Watchers Goulash Recipe with Corn Ingredients

• 1 cup uncooked elbow macaroni (I used whole wheat)
• 1 pound lean ground turkey (99% lean)

• 1 can (28 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
• 1 cup frozen corn
• 1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce (no sugar added)
• 1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chilies
• ½ teaspoon ground cumin (I used 1 teaspoon)
• ½ teaspoon pepper
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¼ cup minced fresh cilantro

How to make goulash with corn: 

1. Cook macaroni according to package directions.
2. While the water is boiling and pasta is cooking, prepare the ground beef and vegetables.
3. In a large skillet set over medium heat, cook the ground meat and onion, stirring and breaking up the meat into small crumbles, until meat is no longer pink, about 6 minutes.
4. Stir in the tomatoes, corn, tomato sauce, chilies, cumin, pepper, and salt. Bring to a boil then lower the heat to a gentle simmer and continue to cook, uncovered, for 4-5 minutes to allow flavors to blend.
5. Drain macaroni and add to the meat/vegetable mixture.
