Instant Pot Goulash
This one-pot meal combines tender meat, pasta, and a rich sauce, making it an all-in-one dish that will please everyone at the table.
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
- 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.
- Once the beef is browned, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for another 2 minutes until the onion is translucent.
- 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.
- Add the elbow macaroni on top but do not stir. This will help prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- Close the lid of the Instant Pot and set the valve to sealing. Cook on high pressure for 4 minutes.
- 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.
- If you’d like, stir in shredded cheese until melted and creamy. You can also garnish with fresh parsley for an added touch.
- Serve hot and enjoy this hearty meal with your family!
