Equipment

  • Instant Pot

Ingredients
  

  • 16 ounces elbow macaroni
  • 4 cups chicken broth, or water
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 12 ounces canned evaporated milk
  • 4 Tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 cups shredded cheddar cheese *(I used sharp)

Instructions
 

  • Add macaroni, chicken broth, and salt to the Instant Pot.
  • Place the lid on, turn the valve to sealing (not venting), and press the PRESSURE COOK button. Set timer to cook for 4 minutes.
  • When timer is complete, do a quick release of the pressure.
  • Remove the lid, stir in the butter and evaporated milk. If it seems too thick, you can also add in 1/4 cup water.
  • Add in the shredded cheddar cheese while constantly stirring. Stir until the cheese is completely melted and smooth.
  • Serve hot, topped with extra salt and pepper if needed.
