With only pasta, water (or chicken broth), seasonings, cheese, and milk, you can make a delicious side dish or comfort food meal. The pasta is already hot so that makes for a shorter baking time. If you want to add a crunchy topping and bake the Mac and cheese, then after you have pressure cooked the Mac and Cheese in the Instant Pot, transfer it to a casserole dish and top with Panko bread crumbs and melted butter and then bake for 15 minutes or until the crumb topping has turned a golden brown. I may never make macaroni and cheese any other way again! The elbow macaroni cooked up perfectly after pressure cooking for only 5 minutes and then the cheese and heavy cream make the macaroni and cheese super rich, creamy and cheesy. You don’t have to drain the pasta, and it makes clean up that much easier since there is only one pot to wash. Why Should You Make Mac and Cheese in an Instant Pot? My answer is that making Macaroni and Cheese in an Instant Pot is even easier than stovetop because you only have one pot to deal with.
