  If your family is anything like mine, then they LOVE having mac and cheese for dinner. I don’t buy the boxed stuff very often because it’s so processed and full of junk. Powered cheese anyone? That’s why I’m so excited to have this super easy 4-Ingredient Instant Pot Mac and Cheese that literally takes the same amount of time to make as the boxed variety. It tastes great and you could even use whole wheat macaroni noodles for a healthier version.

  Don’t have an Instant Pot? You can easily convert this recipe to stove top. Just boil and drain the noodles as usual and then add all ingredients to the pot over medium/low heat until melted and creamy.
