Instant Pot Macaroni and Cheese

I've been wanting to try IP mac and cheese for a while now.  Who doesn't love a good mac and cheese?  It was crazy easy and so darn delicious that I know this is something that we'll be making many times to come.

I was one of those people that doubted that the Instant Pot could cook a good pasta.  What I really like is that there is still texture to it and it's not all mushy and soft.

Let's Get Crafty!
Add each of the following to the Instant Pot and give it a good stir:
3 cups uncooked elbow macaroni
2 cans chicken broth
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
3 tablespoons butter

Set to manual setting for 4 minutes.

When the cook time is done - do a quick release.
There is still a little liquid in the pot with the pasta and ours was absorbed quickly.

Stir in the following until creamy and thick:
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1/3 cup milk (whatever you have on hand)
1/3 cup 1/2 and 1/2

You might want to give it a quick taste before serving.  Ours needed extra salt.

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you have a great day!
