Instant Pot White Cheddar Macaroni

If you’re looking for an easy, fast macaroni and cheese recipe you’re in luck. This Instant Pot recipe for white cheddar macaroni is so fast and easy and so tasty. All you do is pour water, noodles, butter and salt and pepper into your Instant Pot and pressure cook for 4 minutes. Then you stir in cheese and milk and you’re done. It is really almost as easy as making macaroni and cheese from the box.

Where do I find white cheddar? I found some shredded white cheddar at my local Smiths (Kroger) in the cheese aisle. Usually I don’t like to buy pre-shredded cheese but the kind that I got was organic and had no cellulose in it. So it didn’t get clumpy and weird. Plus it was the store brand so it was a good price.

What else can I add? Try adding in some crumbled bacon or chopped artichokes. Another choice? Some cooked rotisserie chicken and steamed broccoli florets. Make it an entire meal!
