INSTANT POT® MAC AND CHEESE WITH HAM AND PEAS

Forget about the blue box (you know what I'm talking about) and make homemade mac and cheese for a weeknight dinner. The ham, peas, and optional hot sauce add some pizzazz to classic mac and cheese. Adjust the consistency of the mac and cheese sauce to suit your personal preference. I used Kraft® 2% Milk Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese to reduce fat with no negative effect on taste.

Provided by lutzflcat

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Pork     Ham

Time 44m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 cups water
1 (16 ounce) package elbow macaroni
1 teaspoon dry mustard powder (such as Colman's®)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon hot sauce
1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
⅓ cup whole milk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cups shredded 2% milk Cheddar cheese (such as Kraft®)
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 cup diced cooked ham
½ cup frozen peas, defrosted
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Combine water, elbow macaroni, mustard powder, salt, and hot sauce in an electric pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Close and lock the lid. Set to high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions and cook for 4 minutes. Allow up to 10 minutes for pressure to build.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality cheese: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your mac and cheese. Look for a cheese that is sharp and flavorful, such as cheddar, Gruyère, or Gouda.
  • Don't overcook the macaroni: It should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. If you overcook it, it will become mushy and lose its texture.
  • Use a roux to thicken the sauce: A roux is a mixture of butter and flour that is cooked together until it forms a paste. This will help to thicken the sauce and give it a smooth and creamy consistency.
  • Season the sauce to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a splash of hot sauce or Worcestershire sauce for extra flavor.
  • Top with your favorite toppings: Once the mac and cheese is cooked, you can top it with your favorite toppings, such as bread crumbs, bacon, or chopped green onions.

Conclusion:

Mac and cheese is a classic comfort food that is loved by people of all ages. It is a versatile dish that can be customized to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious and creamy mac and cheese that will be a hit at your next gathering.
