Instant Pot Goulash

This is my take on American Goulash, but for the Instant Pot (or any Instant Pot type pressure cooker). It's inspired by a million recipes on the internet. Note: I usually eyeball the spice measurements in this recipe, so don't feel like you have to be too close.

Ingredients

• ~1.3# hamburger

• ~1 carton beef stock

• Most of 1 normal small can of tomato paste

• 2 14.5 oz cans diced tomatoes. I like Fire Roasted, but you have a bunch of options.

• 1 small to medium onion, diced

• 2 or more cloves of garlic

• 1 heaped tsp? onion powder

• 1 heaped tsp? garlic powder

• 1 Tbsp Oregano

• 1 Tbsp Parsley flakes

• 1 Tbsp (ish) of Chipotle Tabasco (You can replace the Tabasco with paprika. I like a nice Hungarian paprika, but whatever type you like works.)

• 1 # uncooked Cavatappi pasta (Don't use quick cook pasta for this! You can use other types of macaroni if you like, but elbow mac doesn't hold up as well for this in my opinion. I also like Cavatappi for mac & cheese!)

• A shredded cheese you like for topping (obviously optional)
