Instant Pot Easy Mac (Boxed Kraft Macaroni and Cheese)
This is one of my favorite recipes to make in the Instant Pot, it is so easy, my 13-year-old son, often makes it for himself after hockey practice, since it literally requires hardly any effort, and you don’t have to watch it, boiling on the stove. I consider it one of the greatest Instant Pot Hacks of all time, and everyone loves Kraft Mac & Cheese,
Here are the easy instructions, so you can make it at your home,
This is the package that I used for this recipe, it is 7.25 ounces (any mac and cheese package with the same weight content will work)
In the Instant Pot bowl, add the macaroni, water, milk, and butter.
Add the lid, making sure it’s on the sealing position, And then set manual high pressure for 4 minutes. When the time is up, do a quick release. If you do not do a quick release, your pasta will become sticky.
Add the cheese sauce packet and mix well. Mix until all of the cheese is absorbed into the pasta.
Plate, serve and enjoy!

I did this tonight. After the 4 minutes I released the pressure and removed the lid. It was quite soupy looking even after adding the cheese packet. I used sauté and brought it to a boil and kept stirring it for a couple of minutes and in the end it was fine. I think next time I will set the time for 5 minutes. Definitely much easier than boiling on the stove.
