Description

A comforting one-pot goulash made with ground beef, pasta, and cheese, cooked in under 30 minutes for a delicious family meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce
  • 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 2 cups macaroni pasta
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Set the Instant Pot to ‘sauté’ mode. Add ground beef, onion, garlic, and bell pepper; cook until the beef is browned, releasing a savory scent.
  2. Drain excess fat to keep the dish from being greasy.
  3. Add tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, beef broth, macaroni pasta, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  4. Stir to combine and close the lid, allowing flavors to meld.
  5. Set to ‘manual’ on high pressure for 5 minutes, which will cook the pasta perfectly.
  6. Once done, do a quick release of the pressure.
  7. Stir in the shredded cheese until melted, creating a creamy consistency. Serve warm, and enjoy the delightful transformation.

Notes

Ensure the beef is fully browned for optimal flavor. Adjust cooking time if substituting with turkey or other proteins.
