Are you still excited about CROCKTOBER? Good, because this Instant Pot Macaroni and Cheese is a must.

How long does it take to make a box of Kraft macaroni and cheese? At least 5 minutes to boil the noodles and add the cheese packet, butter, and mike and stir, right? This Instant Pot Macaroni and Cheese take a bit of time to come up to pressure, but I think it’s about the same time to cook as the boxed variety but with way fewer chemicals and lots more cheese!

5 minute Instant Pot Macaroni and Cheese

Yield: 6

in 5 minutes you can have creamy, dreamy mac and cheese

Ingredients

1 16oz Box of Medium Shell Pasta
1 tsp Cholula
½ tsp Ground Black Pepper
1 tsp salt
3 tbsp Butter
2 cups water
2 cups chicken broth
½ cup Whole Milk
2 cups Sharp Cheddar Cheese
1 cup Mozzarella Cheese
1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese

Instructions

Put the pasta, hot sauce, pepper, and salt into the Instant Pot
add broth and water
Stir and cover noodles with liquid as best you can so as many as possible are covered with the liquid.
Cook for 4 minutes using the manual function. Quick-release the steam so your noodles don’t get overcooked. I put a hand towel over the top of the pot to keep the moisture from going everywhere.
Remove the lid and add the butter 1 Tbsp at a time until melted
Add the milk and then add the cheese and stir quickly until the cheese is evenly and smoothly distributed.
Serve immediately with additional salt and pepper to taste
