I’ll admit. I reach for that blue box of macaroni and cheese far to often. It’s a sure fire win that the kiddos will love when I’m in a hurry or have gave up on getting them to eat anything else. It seems that no matter what they always will eat boxed macaroni and cheese. Some days it’s such a fight to get them to eat that I’m totally fine with that box of golden deliciousness!
I grew up on the blue box Mac and Cheese. I had never had homemade macaroni and cheese until I was in my mid-teens and I decided I was going to make my own. I’m pretty sure it was out of NEED and not WANT because we were out of the boxed kind and I had a need for some macaroni and cheese.
Apparently it was a hit because my little brother started asking for homemade macaroni and cheese every single time we were going to have macaroni and cheese. Let me tell you, that was a lot. Especially during the summer when we were home for the summer. It was sort of my specialty lunch dish. Why is lunch such a hard meal to figure out what to make? Does anyone else struggle with this?
How to Make Instant Pot Macaroni and Cheese!
- Use a combination of cheese for best taste. I, personally, love the sharp cheddar and mozzarella combo. If you want to kick it up a notch use Pepper Jack!
- Grab a block of cheese and grate it yourself with a boxed grater for the best results. Pre-shredded cheese has “stuff” added to it so it doesn’t clump together. It also doesn’t melt as well. For that perfectly cheese, gooey mac and cheese grate your own cheese!
- I prefer 2% or whole milk when I’m making this pressure cooker mac and cheese. You can use a low fat milk but for best results user a higher fat content in your milk.
I knew this was going to be a home run because it has pasta and cheese. What else is there in life? Pasta + Cheese = Life

Anyone else agreeing?
I love that cheese in this Pressure Cooker Mac and Cheese. It’s so perfectly melty and gooey. I achieve this by using a block of cheese and grating it with my muscles. Don’t buy that pre-shredded cheese! I mean you can, but it will not achieve this gooey factor that I think you want. There is “stuff” to make it not stick together. When you grate it yourself you will notice that it does clump together because it’s fresh!
We want fresh. We want gooey. It will bring this Mac and Cheese Pressure Cooker Recipe to the next level.
My husband even gave this Mac and Cheese Pressure Cooker Recipe rave reviews. I love getting compliments on an old staple like macaroni and cheese. He loved that it just tasted better. Saying how it wasn’t as salty as the boxed stuff.
If you are a pressure cooker newbie this Instant Pot Macaroni and Cheese is the perfect beginner recipe! Don’t let that pressure cooker collect dust!
