We absolutely loved the ease of making this delicious macaroni and cheese in the pressure cooker. The noodles are cooked to perfection; the sweet peppers and onions become nice and tender. Browned sausage adds a lovely savory flavor and a hint of spice. Mix in the cheese and you have a perfect, gooey mac and cheese.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 c macaroni, elbow or shells
3 c water
2 Tbsp Better Than Broth (chicken)
1 medium green pepper, chopped
1 medium red pepper, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
4 oz Velveeta cheese (shredded)
2 c sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
1-2 lb mild Italian sausage
1/8 tsp white pepper (or more depends on ur taste)
1 Tbsp garlic salt (to taste)
1/4 c Parmesan cheese
2 Tbsp butter

Steps:

  • 1. I use a pressure cooker. Put noodles all vegetables, water, Better than Broth, butter and Parmesan cheese in the pressure cooker. Close lid. Cook high pressure for 6 mins.
  • 2. While the pressure cooker is doing its thing, fry the sausage and crumble small. Drain. Shred or slice cheese very thin (or buy shredded).
  • 3. When the pressure cooker is done do a quick release. Add the meat and cheese stir it in until cheese has melted.
  • 4. Let set for about 5 to 10 minutes (it will thicken up).
  • 5. If you do not have a pressure cooker do the noodles and everything in step one on the stove. Boil the water and broth before adding the noodles and vegetables ( also add an extra cup of water). After noodles are done drain most of the liquid but leave some. Then add your cooked meat and cheese. Oh, wait on the Parmesan cheese too till after draining water.
