Pepper Beef Goulash - American Homemade Recipe

Prep: 15 Minuts Cook: 4 Hours High Cook Numbers of Serves: 4/5 Serves

This Pepper Beef Goulash recipe offers several health benefits thanks to its simple, whole food ingredients. The beef provides a high amount of protein, which is essential for building and repairing muscles in your body. Adding celery and green peppers introduces helpful fiber and essential vitamins to the meal. Because it is prepared in a slow cooker using water, tomato paste, and vinegar rather than heavy creams or excessive oils, it stays relatively low in added fats while remaining very flavorful. Additionally, using tomato paste provides antioxidants like lycopene, which supports heart health.
