One of the great things about the Instant Pot is that using it is pretty simple. This particular recipe is affordable, calls for only 5 ingredients (not counting water) and has virtually no steps involved to make. The final dish is sort of like a pasta stew, but I wouldn’t really call it a stew because of how few ingredients it has, as well as because it doesn’t have any broth. Everyone loved it and it’s been added to the growing collection of dishes that have been requested again. Here’s how I made Instant Pot Beef And Macaroni.

    I've been reading about instant pots all over the web but I don't think I fully get what they are. Is it similar to a slow cooker?

    5 ingredient recipes are the best! I still haven't tried an instant pot but it sounds like an amazing tool.

    This looks really easy to make. I love macaroni but never cooked them in instant pot but I guess there's always a first time :)
