Instant Pot Bacon Mozzarella Mac And Cheese

We are huge mac and cheese fans around here. My oldest could probably eat it every day and not complain. While I do love it, I sometimes want a break from the stronger cheddar flavor that most people think of when they think of mac and cheese. Mozzarella is one of my favorite cheeses, if not my most favorite. It’s just so smooth, soft and tasty. Used in mac and cheese it provides a very different flavor, one that is quite mellow. Bacon is perfect for adding a little something to the mild mozzarella flavor. The resulting mac and cheese has thick, smooth and creamy mozzarella with a hint of smokiness from the bacon. Making this dish in the Instant Pot is great because it becomes a one pot dish that requires very little effort. Here’s how I make Instant Pot Bacon Mozzarella Mac And Cheese.
