Instant Pot Kraft Mac and Cheese

Kelly Jensen
Instant Pot Kraft mac and cheese is a simple delicious cheesy way to cook boxed macaroni in your pressure cooker. Creamy, cheesy, and just as fast as classic stove top mac - with all the same flavor. Pressure cooking your mac and cheese doesn't require a strainer - the pasta and water cook together under pressure and make their own sauce with the milk and cheese mixture. This is a great kitchen hack for your Instant Pot, and a quick way to make your next box of Kraft Dinner!
