Here’s a super simple way to whip up some delicious Instant Pot Mac and Cheese using just five basic ingredients. Trust me, it’s a game-changer and probably the easiest and tastiest mac and cheese you’ll ever make!
Ingredients:
- 1 pound of uncooked elbow pasta
- 4 cups of water
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 3 tablespoons of butter, chopped into small pieces
- 2 1/2 cups of shredded cheese
- Up to 1/2 cup of whole milk
Instructions:
- Cooking the Pasta: Toss the pasta, water, and salt into your Instant Pot. Set it to cook for 4 minutes on the manual setting. Once done, quickly release the steam to prevent the pasta from overcooking.
- Making it Cheesy: Next, stir in the butter until it’s completely melted. Gradually add the cheese and milk, starting with 2-3 tablespoons of milk and adding more as needed, but not exceeding 1/2 cup. Adjust the seasoning or add more liquid if you feel it’s required.
- Final Touch: Let the mac and cheese sit for about 5-10 minutes after cooking. This helps it thicken up and enhances the flavors.
And there you have it—creamy, cheesy, and utterly irresistible mac and cheese ready in minutes. Enjoy your meal! It’s seriously good.
