Instant Pot Goulash

I saw an amazing recipe for Instant Pot Goulash by Kristine's Kitchen (https://kristineskitchenblog.com/instant-pot-goulash/ and decided to veganize it! It was so comforting and delicious, especially for a quick dinner option. We saved two containers of leftovers in the freezer to eat another day.
