Making mac and cheese in the Instant Pot is definitely the way to go! It’s unbelievably easy, it’s made in one single pot (hello, easiest clean up ever), and the mac and cheese comes out amazingly creamy! You can’t beat that!
Guys.
We’re going on a cruise to Italy in two months.
Which means I should be getting “bikini-ready”.
But I don’t see that happening any time soon.
Because this broccoli mac and cheese is E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G.
It’s the mac and cheese we all dream of.
The one that’s creamy but not too heavy.
The one that just melts in your mouth.
And basically the one that you can’t stop eating.
I mean, it’s such a shame you can make this in the Instant Pot so easily.
That just means you’ll be making it every day this week.
Hey, at least we have broccoli in it, right?
