Time 40m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (16 ounce) package elbow macaroni
1 quart chicken stock
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon dry mustard
½ teaspoon liquid smoke flavoring
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup milk
8 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Combine macaroni, chicken stock, salt, dry mustard, liquid smoke, paprika, pepper, and garlic powder in a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 4 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
  • Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Stir in butter, milk, Cheddar cheese, and Parmesan cheese until melted. Mixture will be soupy at first.
  • Select the "Keep Warm" setting on the Instant Pot® and allow macaroni to sit, uncovered and stirring occasionally, until all liquid has been absorbed and consistency is smooth and creamy, about 15 minutes.

I love that this recipe uses sharp cheddar cheese. It gives the mac and cheese a really nice flavor. I also like that the recipe calls for evaporated milk. It makes the cheese sauce extra creamy.
