I got an Instant Pot for Christmas. The first time I used it I almost blew up my kitchen because I was too excited and didn’t READ about the release valve. Lesson learned and fast forward to now. I love this appliance. Dinner is made so much faster and the ideas are endless. We love this Instant Pot Cheesy Goulash Recipe. My kids devoured it in no time.
It is super easy to make, my kids even help. Guaranteed to have no leftovers.

Seems like I’m the only one who still doesn’t have an Instant Pot. 🙂 I need to get one so I can prepare all these delicious dishes that I’ve been seeing on the blogosphere, including this one.

I use cream of mushroom soup in mine. I am new at ip cooking and haven’t done any experimenting. Do you think I should add more liquid to offset the thick soup?
Bev says
Made this as my first Instant Pot recipe last night. Delicious! Best goulash I’ve had!
Marissa says
So glad you liked it!
Lauryn Garza says
I made this last night and even the pickiest of kids loved it! I used only 1lb of meat because 2 seemed too meaty. Also, I used a bigger spiral pasta, but I got a “burn” error message. Next time I’ll use the elbow as the recipe states. Thanks for posting this delish recipe that I don’t have to tweak too much for my liking!
Marissa says
I am so glad you loved it! It seems to be a huge hit with kids!
