instapot mac and cheese

 

Ingredients

  • 16 Ounces Uncooked Elbow Macaroni
  • 4 Cups Chicken Broth
  • 2 Tablespoons Butter
  • 1 Teaspoon Hot Pepper Sauce
  • 1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • ½ Teaspoon Pepper
  • ½ Teaspoon Salt
  • 2 Cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • 1 Cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
  • ½ Cup Shredded Parmesan Cheese
  • ½ -1 Cup Milk

Instructions

  • Add the uncooked macaroni, chicken broth, butter, hot sauce, garlic powder, pepper, and salt to the Instant Pot. 
  • Place the lid on the pot and set to sealing.  Cook on manual function, high pressure for 5 minutes.  Then, do a quick release.
  • Add the milk, then the cheese to the pot in 3-4 handfuls, stirring in between each addition until smooth and creamy. Season as necessary to taste.

Notes

NOTE ABOUT MEASURING:  This recipe calls for one, 16 ounce box of dried elbow macaroni.  If you are measuring from a large bag, this is equal to 4 cups dry measure.  The 16 ounces is also equal to 453 grams.
NOTE:  Some people say that they find this "stringy" Mozzarella is a stringy cheese, if you don't like that texture, use a different cheese, or all cheddar.  Also, keep in mind that you MUST add the cheese in 3-4 handfuls, stirring between each addition, don't add all of the cheese at once.
NOTE:  The cheeses listed in the recipe have produced the best flavor that I have found.  Feel free to use your family's favorite cheese combination.
NOTE:  For the milk, start with ½ cup and add up to one cup if you find it needs to be thinned out a little bit more.
