PRESSURE COOKER GERMAN GOULASH

Pressure Cooker German Goulash image

I always think of goulash from living in Germany when my father was in the Army there. We had a German friend who didn't speak English, but she would always bring us her traditional dishes to try and this was one of my favorites. I'm sure she cooked it in the oven or on top of the stove for hours, but having a pressure cooker speeds up the time so it's ready in less than an hour. -Johnna Johnson, Scottsdale, Arizona
