Instant Pot Goulash

This Instant Pot goulash combines ground beef, onion, tomato paste, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, and elbow pasta with seasonings like paprika and Italian herbs. Cooking under pressure melds flavors quickly, and shredded cheddar stirred in at the end adds creamy cheesiness. It’s a hearty, one-pot pasta meal with savory tang and tender noodles.

Description

Instant Pot Goulash cooks the components sequentially starting with sautéed onion and browned ground beef with tomato paste to develop depth. Adding canned tomatoes, sauce, chicken broth, and elbow pasta along with paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and Worcestershire sauce creates a flavorful cooking liquid that the pasta absorbs under pressure.

After quick pressure cooking, releasing the steam and stirring in shredded cheddar cheese creates a creamy finish. This method yields tender pasta infused with beefy tomato flavors and a cheesy, savory texture that makes it a filling main dish.

The recipe’s use of canned tomatoes and broth with pasta in the pot simplifies cooking multiple steps separately. Using the Instant Pot reduces time compared to traditional stovetop methods, keeping the meal straightforward without extra pots.
