INSTANT POT CREAMY BROCCOLI MAC AND CHEESE
By @damn_delicious
Making mac and cheese in the Instant Pot is definitely the way to go! It’s unbelievably easy, it’s made in one single pot (hello, easiest clean up ever), and the mac and cheese comes out amazingly creamy! You can’t beat that!
Ingredients:
1 pound fusilli pasta
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
4 cups broccoli florets
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 (5-ounce) can evaporated milk
1 cup half and half
12 ounces extra sharp cheddar cheese, grated
Instructions:
Add pasta, 3 tbsp butter and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt to an Instant Pot. Stir in 4 1/2 cups water.
Select manual setting; adjust pressure to high, and set time for 5 minutes. When finished cooking, quick-release pressure according to manufacturer’s directions.
Select high sauté setting. Stir in broccoli and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and liquid has reduced, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in Dijon and garlic powder.
Select warm setting. Stir in milk and half and half until warmed, about 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in cheese until melted, about 3 minutes; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
