Instant Pot Mac and Cheese

This is so easy to throw together and it’s a meal my pre-teen kids beg to make for lunch! My kids love to use beef broth for the cooking liquid and throw in Old Bay or other taco or hot sauce at the end!

What You’ll Need

  • 1 pound uncooked pasta

  • 4 cups water or broth

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 3 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces

  • 2 1/2 cups shredded cheese

  • Up to 1/2 cup whole milk, or half and half, or cream

How to Make It

1. Put the pasta, water or broth, and salt in the instant pot. Cook sealed for 4 minutes on high pressure. Quick release the steam so your noodles don’t get overcooked.

2. Gently stir in the butter until melted. Add the cheese and milk (use 2-3 tablespoons of milk at a time, as needed, up to 1/2 cup). Add more seasoning or liquid as necessary. Chef’s kiss!
