Instant Pot Buffalo Macaroni and Cheese

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz uncooked elbow macaroni or cellentani noodles
  • 1 Tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp ground mustard
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 2 cups water
  • 6 oz evaporated milk
  • 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce (I used mild)
  • 3/4 cup grated cheddar cheese
  • 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella

Instructions

  1. Add noodles, butter, ground mustard, salt and water to pressure cooker. Cover and make sure valve is on “sealing.” Set the manual button for 3 minutes. Once the timer goes off let the pot sit for 5 minutes, then release the rest of the pressure by moving valve to “venting.”
  2. Turn the pressure cooker to the sauté function. Stir in the evaporated milk and buffalo wing sauce. Slowly add in the cheeses while stirring constantly. In time, the sauce will thicken up and the macaroni will become coated with a creamy, cheesy sauce. Turn off the pressure cooker. Scoop macaroni into bowls and serve.

    Hi Karen – I don’t know if you guys have it where you are but we have a place called Mad Mac in Boise and they have these delicious mac and cheese meals. One is called Calaverra (something like that) and one is Buffalo (similar to this I think) but they both have chicken thigh meat in them too. Do you think the chicken and noodles could be cooked a the same time? Specifically if it was the bagged chicken thighs from Costco? I know noodles usually cook faster but that’s the amazing thing about the IP. 🙂 Thank you in advance!

      Wow, so we made this recipe with a rotisserie chicken from Fred Meyer and topped it with bleu cheese. Delicious! I think we’ve got a game plan for trying with the frozen thighs and I think we will pressure cook or saute them separately the pressure cook the noodles while chopping up the meat. Thanks for another great recipe!

      YUMMY! That sounds great. You could cut the chicken into bite size pieces and it would cook at the exact same time. It would be so tasty too!

I can help! I make homemade, family-friendly slow cooker and Instant Pot dinners and share the recipes with you.
