Made it for a party and people kept finding me to tell me how great it was. But the best Mac&cheese I've made (or maybe even had). Extremely cheesy, so you have to like a very cheesy and rich Mac&cheese. I added grated parmesan on top of the bread crumbs and broiled it for two minutes at the end. I also sautéed the bread crumbs with crushed garlic which added a great flavor. I followed the advice of others and "only" used 7 cups of grated cheese and it was plenty cheesy.

SO GOOD! I made this as a gluten free dish using Jovial brand brown rice pasta, Ian's gluten free panko breadcrumbs and Bob's 1:1 GF flour and it was amazing! Everyone loved it and had no idea it was made gluten free. I did steal a few large bites before packaging it up for delivery it was very difficult to resist gobbling it up! I used Tillamook sharp cheddar for the cheese. And WOW, it was so delicious that I am sad that I am delivering it to them! Disclaimers: I have not baked it with the crumb topping yet (but tasted the crumb topping adding a handful of cheese to the breadcrumbs is a great idea) and I modified the recipe by microwaving the milk rather than using a third saucepan to heat it (used a quick-read thermometer to make sure it was hot but not boiling temperature.) Otherwise, no changes. However, I am doing a fair amount of cooking for elderly relatives who said they loved it, so I searched for a recipe that sounded decent, and put it together in short order. I baked in 2 10" pie pans and tossed some bacon in one and topped with Trader Joe's Crispy Jalapenos, delicious!Īs a kid, I did not like Mac and cheese, so I haven't made a habit of making it as an adult. The Instant Pot is so good to us.I followed the recipe pretty close but found 2 bags (1Pound ea) of elbow macaroni was perfect for the huge amount of cheese sauce. Starch? Pressure? Does it matter? The IP holds the magic. It just works differently in the Instant Pot! You cannot replicate this on the stovetop with the same ingredients and I do not know why. I am not food-sciencey enough to tell you how or why this works, but the texture of the creamy sauce that you get a little melted butter, and cheese, and milk?
There’s a reason why people use the Instant Pot for basic recipes like mac and cheese, and it’s because, especially in this case, the mac and cheese your Instant Pot can give you is NEXT LEVEL GOOD.
Obviously Instant Pot Mac and Cheese is pretty straightforward and simple and that’s kind of the point, in my opinion? I creep around on the internets and lately I’ve seen people chatting about how frustrating it is when people just use the Instant Pot for “basic recipes like Mac and Cheese.”Įxcuse me but I’d like to respectfully disagree.

Why Use The Instant Pot For Mac and Cheese? It is FEED ME NOW AND LOVE ME FOREVER mac and cheese. It is even-if-I-did-I-would-still-make-this mac and cheese. It is I-have-no-other-groceries mac and cheese. This is the perfect in between. This is your mac and cheese for when you want REAL FOOD mac and cheese that has a velvety, creamy, sauce with 5 ingredients in 15 minutes. You want something that falls somewhere in the middle of the tastes-like-Velveeta to truffle-baked-mac spectrum. This is: you’ve graduated from mac and cheese in a box, but you are not interested in the commitment required for a big fancy baked deal. We need to identify the brand of mac that is Instant Pot mac and cheese.
