INSTANT POT® MAC AND CHEESE WITH HAM AND PEAS
Forget about the blue box (you know what I'm talking about) and make homemade mac and cheese for a weeknight dinner. The ham, peas, and optional hot sauce add some pizzazz to classic mac and cheese. Adjust the consistency of the mac and cheese sauce to suit your personal preference. I used Kraft® 2% Milk Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese to reduce fat with no negative effect on taste.

- Place the rack in the center position and preheat the oven to 375°F Bring a large pot of water to a boil and season with salt. Spray the casserole dish with cooking oil. Cook the cauliflower in the boiling water for about 5 minutes until crisp yet tender. Drain well, pat between layers of paper towels to dry and transfer to the baking dish. Bring the cream to a simmer in a small saucepan and whisk in the cream cheese, mustard, salt, pepper and garlic until smooth. Stir in 1 1⁄2 cups of the cheese and whisk for just a minute until the cheese melts. Remove from the heat and pour into the casserole dish, covering the cauliflower. Sprinkle the cubed ham over all, top with the remaining 1⁄2 cup cheese and bake for about 15 minutes until browned and bubbly hot. Let cool for about 5 minutes and serve. George's Tips: Although I suggest using the leftovers from a ham dinner to make this casserole, packages of fully cooked, cubed ham are available in the meat department of grocery stores sold above the baked hams.
