Confession time. The instant pot has been in my basement in a box for months now. I bought it on sale in November and there it sat. I don’t know why it’s taken me this long to try it out and see what it can do for dinner in our home. Honestly, I was just plugging along enjoying life as usual, trying to stay sane with all the cold weather and snow days around here.

And then, one afternoon I had had enough. I was CRAVING the macaroni and cheese recipe. But two hours in the slower cooker was not going to cut it. No, I needed it NOW. Enter the instant pot. Sure, it’s a straight forward recipe but not having to wait for the water to boil for noodles was enough of a reason to get this baby out and give it a test run.

And it did not disappoint!

First things first. You can cook noodles in the instant pot. There’s nothing like watching a pot boil – and with the instant pot you don’t have to! Put 16 oz of pasta (in this case elbow noodles), the butter and water in the instant pot. Select “pressure cooker” on high pressure and then five minutes. Make sure your instant pot is sealed. Once the cycle is complete, quick release the steam. (Be careful and make sure to follow your manual.)

Open the lid and add the Velveeta, salt, evaporated milk and cheddar cheese. Stir until completely melted. I did turn on the saute for about one minute to help heat through the Velveeta while stirring the entire time.

So creeeeaaamy, guys! Just how I like it. If you like it creamier, add more evaporated milk. If you like it thicker, add less. It’s completely adaptable.

Serve immediately. It makes great leftovers, but like all mac and cheese, leftovers don’t have the same straight out of the instant pot creaminess. Still, just as good in flavor, though. I mean, I may be eating this instant pot mac and cheese for lunch today.

Enjoy!
