A tender and delicious Slow Cooker Pork Goulash that is packed with flavor and tons of veggies, made using the Instant Pot Slow Cooker function.

I love my Instant Pot, all its functions, and the convenience of a home cooked dinner that its easy and delicious. I use it at least a twice a week during-fall and winter, and during summer I make pulled pork and smoked ribs in it. This time I decided to use the slow cooker function, and boy, it did not disappoint. This slow cooker pork goulash is so easy to make, also you can substitute the pork for chicken or beef, and if you want to go for a vegetarian version just substitute with beans and reduce the cooking time by 1/3.

As someone who loves tomatoes, this slow cooker pork goulash is the epitome of deliciousness for me. It packs a good chuck of tomatoes, also carrots and juicy bell peppers. It has a subtle smoked flavor from the smoked paprika that is used in the recipe, also it ads a nice spicy kick. The pork gets very tender and it absorbs the delicious tomato sauce. The veggies are soft, but not mushy, they have just the right amount of chewiness. The slow cooker pork goulash is better served over white rice or mashed white potatoes, garnished with fresh parsley. You don’t have too wait for cold weather to make this easy, delicious, healthy and time-saver meal. Our family enjoyed it a lot, and I will surely make it again.
