Instant Pot Goulash

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups elbow macaroni
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (optional)
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Start by setting your Instant Pot to the sauté mode. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. This should take about 5 minutes.
  2. Once the beef is browned, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for another 2 minutes until the onion is translucent.
  3. Turn off the sauté mode and add the beef broth, diced tomatoes (with their juices), tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
  4. Add the elbow macaroni on top but do not stir. This will help prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  5. Close the lid of the Instant Pot and set the valve to sealing. Cook on high pressure for 4 minutes.
  6. Once the cooking time is up, do a quick release by carefully moving the valve to venting. Once the steam has released, open the lid.
  7. If you’d like, stir in shredded cheese until melted and creamy. You can also garnish with fresh parsley for an added touch.
  8. Serve hot and enjoy this hearty meal with your family!

Cooking can be enjoyable and stress-free, especially with recipes like this Instant Pot Goulash that takes minimal time and effort. Enjoy your cooking!
