This Extra Creamy Instant Pot Mac and Cheese will be your family’s favorite comfort food. Delicious homemade mac and cheese made easy in the Instant Pot! You can have creamy, delicious, homemade mac and cheese for lunch or dinner in about 10 minutes!
I have still been experimenting with my Instant Pot, a lot of trial and error. I'm learning how versatile it is though.
When I have recipes that come out well like Tender Barbecue Pork Ribs Instant Pot /Grill, INSTANT POT MISSISSIPPI POT ROAST or INSTANT POT CHILI We like to share them. It is my hope to save you some time when you go to make dinner for your family.
My favorite macaroni and cheese is my mother's recipe which she makes with white sharp cheese, green peppers and onions and she bakes it. I think most everyone loves their mommas cooking. I have always strived to be as good of a cook as my mother. That will never happen. However, there are at least a few dishes that my children love that I make. Mac and Cheese was never one of those things that I cooked well. Usually, it was mac and cheese out of a box or from Costco at our house haha.
An Instant Pot and this recipe may be a game-changer. You can now make homemade mac and cheese with just a few ingredients you probably have on hand and 10-15 minutes. It is now so quick and easy that you can whip it up on a weeknight or for a quick lunch.
