MACARONI AND CHEESE

This is a simple mac and cheese recipe that never fails to please. Not too dry, just right. You can tweak it with cayenne or anything else to make it "your own". The only thing that's a must is Velveeta cheese.

5-Ingredient Instant Pot Mac and Cheese image

We love multi-purpose kitchen gadgets that make life easier, so that's why the Instant Pot (a slow cooker, pressure cooker and stove-top stand-in, all in one) is a go-to for quick meals. Especially this creamy kid-friendly mac and cheese, which cooks up in no time. And after it's been gobbled up, you'll only have one pot to clean!

Decadent! Everyone raves about this dish. So cheesey and full of flavor. Good southern comfort food. Wonderful with pork chops or fried chicken. Originally I got the base of this recipe from Nell Carter on some TV show. I had to spice it up a bit.
