Well, for a start it's not really goulash without paprika. Having visited Hungary numerous times I'd also say it's not really goulash with ground meat, turkey sausage, corn, egg noodles, salsa or cheese either, but each to his/her own.

Thyme is always nice in stew-style dishes, as is a bay leaf. Other than that just salt and pepper.

How do you season chopped meat?

So, if you go the natural, simple way, you would just use a couple seasonings- perhaps some salt and pepper. If you are going simply, then just use the half a teaspoon of salt for a pound and a half of ground beef, along with a tablespoon of black pepper.

When should you season ground beef?

When it comes to seasoning your ground beef, wait until after it has been browned and drained. Adding salt to raw ground beef pulls out moisture, drying the meat out and creating steam while it cooks, which prevents it from browning properly.

Answer 2

I propose the zest of several oranges! (Along with the aforementioned paprika, of course.)

UPDATE: It just occurred to me I used to toast caraway seeds, crush them and add them to the mix as well.

Answer 3

for goulash,ditch the turkey, ground beef, cheese, salsa, and corn. Add chunks of beef (or maybe mutton), lots of paprika, some potatoes, garlic. Probably needs other ingredients as well, pepper for example (or something similar).

Answer 4

You're direction here is.. unique, for a goulash. However, as I look at where you're going with this, I'd say be sure to use a proportionally larger quantity of both red and green bell peppers, too.

I think what defines the flavor of the dish is the duo blend of bold beef and bell pepper, with a minor presence of tomato. Paprika helps establish robustness to that taste, as will onion and garlic. The rest is just ancillary, but will add depth. Elendi's recommendations for spices are spot on, and I might add pinches of rosemary and marjoram if there's enough beefiness to support that extra headiness.
