Instant Pot Mac and Cheese
A super quick recipe I found online.. But I've changed the cheeses around and combined them. I use what I have as long as it's 12 Oz of grated cheese. I haven't used mozzerella though, just because it's too stringy. There is something that cannot be changed. Don't use the pre-shredded cheese in a bag as it makes the Mac and cheese gritty. Always use the brick form cheese and grate it yourself. Thanks bunches as always, to my hubby Mike for his photography.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Add the dried macaroni, chicken broth, butter, salt and mustard powder to the instant pot. Make sure the macaroni is fully submerged.
- 2
Lock on the lid and set the vent to seal. Cook on high pressure for 6 minutes.
- 3
When the time is up, do a quick release to let the steam out quickly. Be aware, it will spit pasta water so make sure you put something over the vent as it releases pressure. I use a tea towel.
- 4
There will be water remaining in the pot. DON'T drain it. Add the milk to the pot, then add the cheeses slowly, while stirring, until smooth and creamy. Season to taste.

One Pot Creamy Macaroni and Cheese One Pot Creamy Macaroni and Cheese
My fave mac-n-cheese was always Kraft growing up. This mac-n-cheese is so much tastier (and healthier) than that blue box, and still made all in one pot. No flour and no blocks of processed cheese....The starch from the pasta being cooked in the milk is what creates the sauce. And, as always, if you use cheese that you've shredded yourself, the texture of the final product will be so much better and creamier. I usually use a mix of sharp white and yellow cheddar and some parmesan, but use whatever combination you like.

This is a quick, creamy macaroni and cheese with a little extra. Adding the sausage, peppers and onions makes this a full meal. Experiment with different types of cheese that melt well: cheddar gouda, fontaine, provolone, swiss, gruyere, muenster, jack, etc. I used gouda in the pictures.
