It’s time everyone jumps on the Instant Pot Macaroni & Cheese bandwagon. I am a lover of macaroni & cheese like many others are but I don’t know how the Instant Pot does it but this darn machine is magical.
I had a couple of helpers for the macaroni & cheese. They all ate it up…TWICE. Kid AND adult approved. Now it’s your turn to make. Find recipe below.
