Making mac and cheese in the instant pot is easier than you think. In fact, it’s been my new favorite way to create this delicious comfort food in our home.

• Combine your elbow noodles, water, onion powder, dry mustard, pepper, jalapeno pepper, and butter in Instant Pot inner pot.
• Close the instant pot lid and turn the pressure valve to seal. Cook on manual high pressure for 6 minutes. 
• Allow for a quick pressure release and then add in the remaining ingredients, stirring in the cream cheese and cheese to melt with the pasta, and then adding in the milk a little at a time.
• Serve in a bowl and add some more shredded cheese on top. We like ours very cheese and you can tell.

I love recipes that bring the flavors of the south and are perfect for nights where you need a bit of comfort food.

The best thing about this recipe is that you can use any of your favorite cheeses to create a delicious and easy dinner the entire family will love.

Perfect for busy weeknights or just when you are craving some homemade mac and cheese! Personally, I think it’s the perfect side item during Thanksgiving dinner!

Get creative with your mac and cheese recipe! Change the pasta noodles every once in a while with new cheese combinations.

The process is exactly the same. This way you will always have a new mac and cheese recipe in your hands when you or your family is craving a little bit of comfort food.
