4 Minute Instant Pot Macaroni and Cheese
You may start to see a pattern – more and more instant pot recipes. I can’t help it. I am loving my Instant Pot Cooker!
Being gluten free for the last 6 years has not been as hard as one my think. Maybe I’ve just gotten better or forgotten what I’m missing 😉 Actually the food has gotten better. I have been craving a really good mac n cheese though! I was inspired by this 4 Minute Cheesy Macaroni recipe.
Right now my favorite gluten free noodles are Ronzoni. I think they taste the best and my husband doesn’t mind them either. I also love that I can buy them for less than $2 at Walmart. I started with two cups.
I added enough water to cover the noodles. I know it’s more than a cup and I’ve played around with this – just make sure water covers the noodles and you’ll be golden.
I set my IP for Manual High pressure at 4 minutes.
Make sure it’s set to “sealing”. When the 4 minutes is up do a quick release (turn it to venting and let the steam come out).
Then I added a 1/2 cup of sour cream and a 1/2 cup of milk plus 2 cups of cheese. I just used the 3 cheese blend. You could play with flavors. I will tell you that 2 cups of cheddar just doesn’t melt right.
I just added some salt and pepper and that was it. Seriously, 4 minutes! Did I tell you I love this thing?
What are you making in your instant pot?
I’ve recently started using my Instant Pot for pasta dishes. I love it. Saves on dishes and time.
Yum, this recipe sounds delicious! I love my instant pot! I just found out a couple of months ago that I am allergic to gluten and pasta has been one of the things that I knew I would miss the most (Italian is my FAVORITE)! I am so glad that there are so many gluten free options nowadays though, it definitely makes it a lot easier! I can’t wait to make the macaroni and cheese, thank you so much for sharing the recipe! 🙂
I like that this looks creamy, and thick. That’s the best part of mac n cheese for me. Something that makes me feel at home, something that makes me feel comfy and safe.

This is a great idea. I just got one as a belated Christmas gift but haven’t used it yet. I am slightly intimidated by it lol,
This recipe will be perfect for tomorrow. I really needed a new idea and this has me inspired. Thank you so much for sharing it!

I love mac&cheese. You can pretty much add whatever cheese you like. It’s one food that even I can’t mess up.
YUMMY!!! Perfect when I work late on Tuesdays!!!
I can’t wait to try this. It looks scrumptious. We love Mac and Cheese so much and this would be a quick easy way to prepare. Thanks for sharing with us.
Yum. I love love love macaroni and cheese. But I don’t know about the GF thing…
You can make it with regular noodles. They don’t have to be Gluten free. The directions would be the same.
Oh my goodness! I’ve never seen one before but must find one! This looks awesome
Looks delicious and I think the boys would love it!
SOLD!! I need one of these lol!! This looks AMAZING!!!
I have never heard of the Insta Pot but oh man…now I want one. What is better than 4 minute mac and cheese?!!
This looks yummy!
this looks so creamy and amazing. I will try this method thanks
I need an instant pot. My friend swears by hers!! When I get a chance to buy one, I am going to do it. This mac and cheese recipe might be the first recipe seeing as how it is hubb’y’s fave dish!!!
I have an electric pressure cooker, is that the same thing? This is so easy! I’d love to make this! Love the sour cream too, my mac & cheese always comes out clumpy & not real creamy. I’ll definitely try the sour cream thing! Thank you!
They’re similar, but not identical. Instant pot is actually the brand: http://amzn.to/2mfX3L6
I’ve never cooked in an instant pot, before. Looks incredible! I’m not a big fan of cheese, but I have a granddaughter who loves it. This is a good idea for a quick lunch.
WEll, now i need to get an instant pot cooker! I have 4 small kids so anything that can make a meal fast is for me since they are right there saying mommy i am hungry and me saying I am making dinner! lol and plus, they love mac n’ cheese.
I’ve been wondering if I should invest in an Instant Pot. I use my microwave for so many things, but it’s not always a “cooker”. I’d like to try some simple recipes in an Instant Pot and this would definitely be one of them 🙂 Thank you for sharing!
Looks easy enough & the kids would absolutely love it! We haven’t tried the gluten free pasta yet but it’s on the list of things to try. Thanks for the info on how to cook, etc. & the cheese blend. We noticed cheddar doesn’t melt right on a lot of things.
Mac n Cheese family favorite and Instant Pot recipe my favorite!
