Instant Pot goulash needs only 4 minutes of pressure cooking. It’s a delicious one-pot meal made FAST for those busy nights! And it’s the perfect comfort food too.

Simple Instant Pot Goulash Recipe

It’s true, I was late to the game in getting my very own Instant Pot. Oh sure, others raved about their Instant Pots, but I just wasn’t convinced.

Until I was!

Now I use my Instant Pot All. The. Time.

One of my favorite meals to make with it is Instant Pot Goulash. I mean – brown the meat, dump in the rest of the ingredients, press a button for 4 tiny minutes cook time & walk away?

Yeah, that’s my kinda cooking, y’all!

And goulash is a favored childhood memory of mine. Now THAT’S true comfort food!

This one-pot recipe couldn’t be easier. Check out these simple ingredients.

• • • 1 pound ground meat

    • 1 onion, chopped

    • 2 cloves garlic, minced

    • 1 can spaghetti sauce

    • 2 cans diced Italian-flavored tomatoes

    • 2 teaspoons paprika

    • 3 tablespoons soy sauce

    • 2.5 cups broth

    • 2.5 cups elbow pasta

Cooking Meat, Onions & Garlic

First I turned my IP to ‘sauté’ and cooked the ground meat, chopped onions & minced garlic together until the meat was fully cooked. It only took a few minutes.

When the meat was browned with onions/garlic I drained the fat and added the other ingredients

Initially I thought 3 tablespoons of soy sauce was going to be excessive. But it wasn’t, it was perfect. So I never skip that even though my cooking self raises an eyebrow when adding it. LOL.

A quick stir to incorporate everything and then I placed the IP lid on top, locking it into place.

Quick Cooking Goulash With A Pressure Cooker

I set my Instant Pot setting to manual high pressure and pressed the +/- button to set the time for 4 minutes.

Wait, 4 minutes??!!

Yep, that’s right. This recipe only needs to be pressure-cooked for 4 tiny minutes. How’s THAT for fast??!

When the timer was up I did a quick release of pressure. One last stir and we were good to go.

What Food Is Easiest Cooked In An Instant Pot?

Since getting my Instant Pot I’ve found all kinds of dishes to love it for. Making Instant Pot Broth for instance.

Instant Pot Roast with lots of savory brown gravy.

Cooking Dry Beans in the IP is game changing y’all. So fast!

Cheesecake In An Instant Pot Oh my…
