INGREDIENT NOTES:
GROUND BEEF:
- Ground beef will deliver a protein content and rich texture. As a substitute, you can use ground turkey, lamb, or chicken.
TOMATO SAUCE:
- We have to use tomato sauce, as it will give a deep and tarty flavor to this goulash. As an alternative, we can use creamy tomatoes, crushed tomatoes with herbs, or fresh blended tomatoes.
CAULIFLOWER FLORETS:
- You can utilize the cauliflower florets, which will provide a texture and soak up the flavors. As a replacement, we can use shirataki noodles, zucchini chunks, or cabbage pieces.
ONIONS:
- We utilize onions to give a sweet taste and an aromatic flavor. We can switch them out with green onions, shallots, or onion powder.
CHEDDAR CHEESE:
- Cheddar cheese will provide a savory flavor and fat content to this goulash. It also improves this meal with a silky and rich texture. As a substitute, you can use Parmesan, Gouda, or cream cheese.
BEEF BROTH:
- Beef broth creates a savory and rich foundation for this goulash. We can swap it with vegetable broth, chicken broth, or bone broth.
