  2. Mix water, Worcestershire sauce, and bouillon granules together in a small bowl. Pour into meat mixture and stir until well combined. Bring to a simmer, then stir in macaroni and paprika. Add tomatoes and tomato sauce, making sure not to stir after this addition. Close and lock the lid. Set the timer for 4 minutes. Allow about 10 minutes for pressure to build.

  3. Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to the manufacturer’s instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.

You can use Italian-seasoned diced tomatoes or stewed tomatoes instead of regular diced tomatoes.
