Hi , everyone .

This is Stephanie Manly with copycat dot com .

You've asked for more recipes for the instant pot .

And here is another recipe for the instant pot .

I'm gonna make macaroni and cheese in the instant pot .

So we're gonna go ahead and get started .

Now , if you all have a pressure cooker , um you can use it as well .

Directions will be about the same .

So why don't we go ahead and get started ?

So , the first thing we need to do is we need to cook the pasta .

One of the advantages of cooking it in an instant Pott is that it's gonna get more flavor into the pasta .

So in goes £1 of pasta .

I'm using penne pasta .

You can use macaroni , whatever you wanna use and goes this .

All right .

We're gonna put about two tablespoons of butter in here .

We're gonna put a little bit of hot sauce in here about a teaspoon .

I'm using Ulla .

You could use Tabasco or Frank's red hot sauce , whatever you like right now .

I'm totally digging for some reason .

Um So in goes there we're gonna put about a tablespoon of mustard powder .

Now , this is a specific ingredient .

It is dry mustard , it is not the liquid kind that we stick on our burgers .

So it goes just about a tablespoon adds a nice bit of zinc and we are going to add in four cups of water .

So we're gonna cook this on high for four minutes and we're gonna do an instant relief on the pressure .

So we're gonna just put the lid on and cook this up .

Alrighty .

So our pasta has finished cooking in here and now it's time to go ahead and make up the mac and cheese part .

So we're gonna add about a cup of half and half to this .

If you like , you could use evaporated milk or you could use whole milk if you like , I don't recommend skin milk .

And next , we're gonna go ahead and stir in the cheese .

Now , I have a pound of cheddar and about a cup of Monterey Jack cheese .

I like the way the two combine together .

As you can see , the pot is still on , it's on a warm cycle right now .

And now we're just gonna stir and blend in the cheeses , right ?

So our mac and cheese is now done and we're gonna go ahead and serve this up .
