5-INGREDIENT INSTANT POT MAC AND CHEESE
We love multi-purpose kitchen gadgets that make life easier, so that's why the Instant Pot (a slow cooker, pressure cooker and stove-top stand-in, all in one) is a go-to for quick meals. Especially this creamy kid-friendly mac and cheese, which cooks up in no time. And after it's been gobbled up, you'll only have one pot to clean!

"INSTANT" MAC AND CHEESE
No-boil, no-bake, one-pan mac and cheese is not just possibly simple, but simply possible! On top of producing awesome taste and texture, the whole procedure only took a few minutes longer than the boxed stuff; not to mention we avoided about a dozen ingredients we probably shouldn't be eating. Just make sure to grate your own (high-quality) Cheddar and turn off the heat as soon as the cheese melts, and the process should go smoothly.

- First, add the water, optional vegan chicken bouillon paste (or use vegan chicken broth instead of water), and dry pasta to the pot. Give it a little stir.
- If you made my vegan cheese recipe you’ll need about half the block--shred it on the largest setting or side of your grater. If not, 2 heaping cups of store bought vegan cheese will work. And if just adding a vegan cheese sauce, leave it out until the pasta is cooked.
- Give everything a good but gentle stir, close the lid, set the pressure valve to “sealing,” and cook on high pressure for 4 minutes. When the pot has come to pressure the 4 minutes will reappear on the screen and it will start counting down.
- Quick Release: after it beeps that it’s finished, turn it off and carefully switch the pressure valve to venting. I like to use a wooden spoon to release the pressure so my hands aren’t anywhere near the escaping hot steam. With Instant Pot, it’s safe to release the pressure when there is no more steam or anything coming out of the pressure valve and the safety button switched to down/off position. Please consult your pressure cooker manual to determine how to safely use your pressure cooker. If you’d like to add a cheese sauce, do it after the pressure has been released fully.

- Crisp Bacon Bits: Place bacon on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place it on the middle rack of a preheated 400°F oven. Bake bacon until crispy and golden-brown. Set a timer for roughly 18 - 20 minutes. Place them on a paper towel to absorb the excess fat. Cut into bacon bits.
- Pressure Cook Elbow Macaroni: Add 16 oz (454g) elbow macaroni, 4 cups (1L) cold water, and a pinch of kosher salt in Instant Pot. Close the lid and pressure cook at High Pressure for 4 minutes + Gradual Quick Release. Open lid carefully.*Pro Tip: There is a slight chance that a tiny amount of foam will come out with the steam. Have a towel handy just in case.
- Prepare Crispy Breadcrumbs: While the macaroni is pressure cooking, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tbsp (15g) unsalted butter, 1 tbsp (15ml) olive oil, and ½ cup (31g) panko breadcrumbs to the skillet. Toast the breadcrumbs until golden brown. Taste and add kosher salt for seasoning.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, beat 2 large eggs and mix in 1 tsp (2g) ground mustard, 1 tsp (5ml) Sriracha, and 12 oz (355ml) evaporated milk. Mix well.
