Today's Recipe: (really just directions)Instant Pot Electric Pressure Cooker Kraft Macaroni & Cheese Dinner (7.25 oz.)

You might think this is silly, and is just as easily & quickly done on the stove. Might I respectfully disagree.

Using your Instant Pot Electric Pressure Cooker, there is no stirring, no testing to see if the macaroni is done, no boiling over onto the stove, no straining.

Put in your ingredients and go off and do something. Pour a well deserved glass of wine maybe?

Warning: This easy method could start a bad habit of feeding your mac and cheese craving at anytime of the day or night. 😅

Note: Before beginning this or any other recipes, make sure your silicone gasket fits tightly. If not, run it under cold water or pop it in the fridge for 10 minutes. This will contract it back into shape. The gasket gets loose with use.

Here are the easy directions:

One 7.25 oz box of Kraft Macaroni & Cheese Dinner
(Macaroni & Packet)
1 Cup of water
1/4 Cup of milk
4 TBS. butter

To your Instant Pot Electric Pressure Cooker
add butter, water, milk and macaroni.

Using the Manual or Pressure Cook button,
set your Instant Pot Electric Pressure Cooker to 5 minutes (4 if you like your macaroni al dente). Quick release.

If it sputters while releasing, pulse it a bit. Do not cover the vent with a cloth, as it needs to be unobstructed to work properly and safely.
Uncover when fully vented, stir in the cheese packet.

Enjoy!
