Instant Pot Macaroni and Cheese

 

Instant Pot Macaroni and Cheese

I finally was able to make this Instant Pot Macaroni and Cheese that I’ve been wanting to make for months. The rest of my family doesn’t really like mac & cheese. Unless it’s my youngest. And it has the word Kraft on the box. 

We had a barbecue and I decided that would be a great addition, so I whipped it up. It ended up being so good even my husband and my youngest (the Kraft fanatic) enjoyed it. And they told me I could make it again. I call that a win! 

It was so creamy, and it made a ton. I didn’t have heavy whipping cream so I used evaporated milk. And I used a combination of shredded cheddar, Colby Jack, and Havarti.
