Instant Pot Hungarian Goulash

Goulash is a quick, easy, hardy, and delicious meal. In our family, we call it, “Tomato Macoroni,” because it best explains what the dish is! Using the Instant Pot makes it easier to make because you don’t have to cook the noodles seperately. Also, who doesn’t love one pot meals?
