Ingredients

Garnish

  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup sharp cheddar cheese shredded

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients except the cream cheese, shredded cheese, and milk in the inner pot.
  • Close the instant pot lid and turn pressure valve to seal. Cook on manual high pressure for 6 minutes.
  • Allow for a quick pressure release and then add in the remaining ingredients, stirring in the cream cheese and cheese to melt with the pasta, and then adding in the milk a little at a time. 
  • Serve in a large bowl or platter and garnish with grated cheese and fresh parsley.

Notes

  • Remember it takes about 10-12 minutes for the Instant Pot to reach pressure, so this entire dish takes about 20 minutes from start to finish.
  • You can replace the pepperjack cheese with sharp cheddar cheese if you want to mild version of this recipe. 
  • As a garnish, you can replace the sharp cheddar cheese with grated parmesan cheese. 
  • For a crispy crust, put the mac and cheese in an oven-safe dish and turn the oven on broil. Replace the garnish with about 1/2 to 1 cup of parmesan and sprinkle on top of the mac and cheese. Broil for 2-3 minutes or until the top is crispy.
