Saw this on tv and tried it . Fast and easy

1 cup milk

Put in pan and start to boil

Then add 1 cup elbow macaroni and cook until it is soft. Add 5 oz. cheddar cheese and 2 ounces

of American cheese. Stir.

I boil my spaghetti (yes spaghetti ) until done . Drain ,put 1/2 in a 9" X 13 " pan . Add THICK (1/4 " or so thickness ) of sharp cheddar cheese sliced NOT shredded . Add rest of spaghetti & another layer of cheese . Pour milk in pan just until it comes to the 2nd layer of spaghetti . Bake 350 degree 35 -35 minutes . This takes almost 1 box of thin spaghetti & 2 pounds of cheese . Do NOT put in to much milk

My daughter in law does too. It is delicious. The trick is not to use preshredded cheese. Doesnt melt right. Love the Instant pot

we used to cook pasta like this a lot. You get a feel for how much water the pasta will absorb. If there is water left after cooking just let it sit and it will all be absorbed.

This is probably my most favourite, most delicious Mac and Cheese
..... and to boot, it's easy-peasy!

I like the idea of not draining the pasta. Tupperware had a recipe for one of their dishes. You put a cup of water and 1/2 cup of macaroni in the dish, cover it and cook for about 5 minutes. No draining.

I make my Mac and cheese with cream of mushroom soup.
Cook the pasta by your favorite method.
Add one can Cream of mushroom soup.
Add lots of cheese.
Heat on low heat until cheese is melted, stirring frequently.
If it's too thick, add milk to desired consistency.

Would love a tried and true recipe for Mac 'n Cheese made in the Instant Pot if someone would kindly share. I've only had my Instant Pot for a month. Thank you!

Let's have that instapot recipe. I'm learning to cook all over again with this new toy. (some recipes off the internet do not work....like patterns.....they have mistakes in them.)

To All Instant Pot Users ..... Being that they have been mentioned several times, here,
please do tell me more about them!

Do they really replace seven appliances?
Which Ones?

I keep hearing it is really a pressure cooker.
I guess I am somewhat intimidated by a pressure cooker, and have fears of it.
Should I be? What's the secrets? How does it work?

Plus, how does a pressure cooker which is a fast cooker, double up and be a slow cooker?
My understanding is that one of the seven is the slow cooker, but to me it doesn't make sense
that a fast cooker is also going to be a slow cooker!
Please explain!

Storage in my kitchen is limited, so I am all for fewer appliances to maximize my space.
Thus why the Instant Pot intrigues me.

So please do enlighten me ....
and tell me more than I have just asked, because I really don't know what I should ask!
