Macaroni and cheese. It’s probably one of the most popular comfort foods there is. I have a number of different ways to make it. One of my newest, and most favorite, ways to make it is in the Instant Pot. The macaroni gets covered in ooey gooey cheese and it’s just sooooo good! I had some ground beef I had to cook one night and decided to put it in with the mac and cheese I’d been planning on making anyway. It was a big hit with both hubby and my oldest and was gone almost as quickly as the little time it took to make it. The beef gave it a nice flavor and made for a meal all by itself, instead of the mac and cheese being a side. Here’s how I make it.

    This is why I love my instant pot! There are so many recipes to make and it's always what the kids usually love like mac and cheese and hamburger. My boys will praise me for preparing this recipe for them, for real.
