• electric pressure cooker (I used a 6 qt Black + Decker)
• measuring cup
• silicone cooking spoon

Ingredients

• 16 oz large elbow
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup water
• 12-16 oz cooked ham (leftover cooked ham, ham steak or thick deli ham works), diced or cubed
• 16 oz frozen broccoli cuts
• 12 oz shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 cup milk

Instructions

Place the cup of water into the pot.

Put the pasta into the pot.

Pour the chicken broth into the pot. Try to cover as much of the pasta as possible, which should be all of it or almost all of it.

Add the onion powder.

Add the ham.

Set the frozen broccoli on top of the pasta.

Set the pressure cooker to cook on high pressure for 4 minutes.

Once the cooking cycle has finished, do a quick pressure release.

Pour the milk into the pot and add the shredded cheese to the pot.

Stir well until all of the cheese has melted.

Serve immediately.
