Instructions
Heat a lightly greased Dutch oven over medium heat and add the ground beef, onion, and bell pepper. Break meat apart with a wooden spoon as it cooks.
Once meat is no longer pink, drain off any liquid/grease. Return Dutch oven to heat and add garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook 1 minute.
Add tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, Italian seasoning, Cajun seasoning, seasoned salt, paprika, pepper and bay leaves. Simmer 5 minutes.
Add water and pasta and simmer, covered, until pasta is cooked, about 15 minutes. Discard bay leaves.
Stir in corn and serve with cheddar cheese and sour cream.
Notes
I like a really meaty ghoulash so I use 2 pounds of ground beef, but you can get by with just using 1 pound.
