Let's face it: the iconic Mac & Cheese is one of those recipes that has a zillion different ways to make it. Baked or out of the pot? Which cheese? How creamy? There really is no right or wrong.
One thing I know is that, while I LOVE making a béchamel style Mac & Cheese, it takes many pots and a good hour. Sometimes, I just want to make it quick. One pot, NO separate pasta boiling/straining and in TEN MINUTES. Yes, you too can make magic thanks to Bob Warden's crowd-pleasing recipe.

I tried out this recipe just as it is tonight. It turned out amazing!!! My family loved it, everyone had seconds except for me...there was none left! Great recipe, thanks!!!
Superb!
I have always been hesitant to use my instant pot for pastas thinking it would come out mushy. Last minute supper request from my grandson was mac & cheese and hotdogs, so I figured I would give it a try. I had already been looking through your video recipes, so went on the hunt for mac & cheese. The perfect portion because I certainly didn't want to cook a whole 16 oz. box! I added cut up hotdogs to the pot of macaroni and broth. 6 minutes cook time it was perfect! Grandma and grandson approved! Thank you so much!
Omg so good! All 3 of my kids loved it and they only usually like boxed Mac-n-cheese. Finally a recipe that works! Thank you!
Love your videos, your love of food & how much happiness you bring to what you do. ☀️🙂
Thank you from the bottom of my family’s stomachs. We are loving the Instant Pot and your recipes!
I got and instant pot for Christmas and I stay on your channel. I have made some of your recipes so far. All have been great!
OMG, Thank you so much for what you do...... You have given us so many idea’s for how to use our Instant Pot...
I purchased an Instapot from Costco last month. Your pot roast was a huge success and I have made your beef and broccoli. My 11 year old says it's better than take out. Today I am making mac and cheese 🤩😍
I made this recipe tonight in my Instant Pot and after it cooked I changed it up to what I had in house. I needed to add another 2/3rds cup broth, added 2c shredded old cheddar, 1c shredded mozzarella, 1/3 c sour cream, 1 tsp Dijon mustard and 3-4 dashes Worcestershire sauce. It was so creamy and the macaroni was perfectly cooked. This dish had to be well over 500 calories, but oh so worth it. Thank you for this recipe.
Thank you for this helpful, amusing video. This was the first recipe my wife and I made in our new Instant Pot and it came out perfect - thank you thank you thank you
My new mini arrived yesterday, so I just made the Mac. It's delicious. I love your attitude and each recipe video is fun to watch. Thanks. Delicious! We had a foot of snow yesterday here, so I HAD to make this.
Made this for the first time yesterday and it was delish! Super easy. Thanks Jeff!
I make this recipe on a regular basis now. My kids love it.
Your personality is the extra kick to this recipe. Good work. Yummy! Gonna try it!
Making this right now! I love all your recipes!
I use to cook Kraft M&C for my kids but now this is my default M&C recipe for the family. It's so much cheaper and yields so much more than just 1 box of Kraft M&C. Thanks for the video dude!
You have an amazing voice! Very soothing to hear especially because cooking stresses me out!!
A fast and simple dish that recons back to the days of cooking from a box, but this is more satisfying. I shook a little Italian seasoning over the top and that just made it even better.
Made it today and everyone loved it. Thank you so much.
I made this today in my Ninja Foodi. When the pasta was finished and all ingredients stirred in, I also tried his twist with using crumbled Ritz crackers mixed with melted butter sprinkled on top (I used a whole stick of butter to a "log" of crackers) and put it on "air crisp" at 400°f for 8min. I also did a bit of a twist and instead of just using regular cheddar, I used 2-8oz Kraft shredded triple cheddar cheese. We served it with beef wieners cut into bite size and warmed in the microwave before mixing in with the pasta.
It turned out FABULOUS! ❤
I can’t stop watching your videos! I’d love watching you even if I didn’t use an instant pot!
amazing as always. i love my instant Pot and i love you vids. thank you 💚💚💙💙
Just making it. It smells amazing. Thanks great videos!
Awesome recipe! It was a hit with the kids and they are picky eaters. Very easy to make. Thanks Jeff!
This was great! I used mild cheddar, Monterey Jack and Colby came out perfect!
Cant wait to try this wow looks delicious ty for the recipe
Meuleh! I watched this video and made this dish and am finished eating my SECOND serving all in less than 30 minutes LITERALLY! Very easy and the cream cheese (have never heard of this before) put it OVER the TOP! Thanks for sharing !!!! My life won't ever be the same and I thank you for that...
OMGOOOOOSH!! I have found my new mac and cheese recipe!! I did the 4-6 serving with seriously sharp cheddar, mustard, hot sauce, topped with the Ritz/butter and used the Mealthy Crisplid for 4 minutes. Perfection!! Thank you for yet another ahhmazing recipe!!🥰
Hello how are you I'm johnny from California what about you?..........

Thank YOU!
I come back every Thanksgiving to this video. Best Instant Pot Mac & cheese ever 🔥
I'm a college student that's about to move into my first apartment. I've been in the market for a pressure cooker and you've sold me on the instant pot. You're videos are super easy to follow and you give really helpful tips and tricks. There's a;so so much you can do with it so its's incredible. Keep up the great work man!
Lydia Giselle how to make Dutch baby
Even the low sodium is soooo salty. Sounds good. I love watching your videos and recommend a notebook beside for comments to add to the recipe. Love tier I P baby back ribs.
OK, the wife made this for dinner tonight, and it was great. Thanks for the recipe. We'll be making this again.
I did this tonight and it was amazing!!!
enjoy ALL your videos. very informative and very entertaining. getting a new Insta Pot duo 7 in 1 tomorrow. hope i like it.
I made this tonight great recipe! Thank you
Made this with my kids and they loved it. Very creamy!
I made this for dinner tonight. I didn't have any cream cheese, so used Velveeta. It was fantastic.
Jeff you are as always the install pot man of my dreams lol thanks and keep up the good work, tell Richard hi.
I'm late to the party, but I made this yesterday and it was SO GOOD. Thanks, Jeffrey. :)
Made this last night (first thing I've made in the instant pot) and it came out pretty good. My kids loved it which is saying alot since my youngest hates cheese and I can never get him to eat anything with cheese but he ate a big serving of this and asked me to make it again 😊😊. Thanks for this recipe will be making more of your recipes soon! ❤️
Hello how are you I'm johnny from California what about you?..........
No mustard for me (husband can not touch mustard). My secret ingredient is nutmeg, just a little to taste, and three different cheeses and add them in the beginning throughout the whole cook cycle. Looks yuummmmmmy!
I made the new version of your recipe with 4-6 servings. It was delicious!!
Love this recipe 🎉
So I just want to say I was toying with buying an instant pot for about a year. I kept hearing people rave about it. Then I got scared hearing about people getting hurt by pressure cookers so I waited even longer. I have a love/hate relationship with cooking. I love doing it. I love food. I HATE how long it takes. I watched your videos on TH-cam and you sold me. This was the first thing I decided to make and I’m eating it now! Took your advice on the mustard and OHMYGOD. Who knew?! I also bought some of that better than boullion, which I didn’t use this time because I have 2 boxes of overpriced chicken stock in my pantry that I figured I’d use first. So thanks for that tip as well, I have a really small pantry and this little jar is a lot smaller than boxes of chicken stock. I also live near Buffalo so we get regular snow storms and I’m glad to have this now because we always have water so if we get snowed in, this helps a lot! Seriously, thank you thank you thank you!!!
YUMMY !!!! I learned something new today-almost May 2021.
Thanks for making cooking fun. I love my Instant Pot. Now you made it fun.
Thank YOU, Linda!
so simple love this ca t wait to try!!
This is the first of your older videos I've seen. Wow you have come so far in lighting, camera work, Etc
Just tried this today and it was amazing!! My boyfriend and I ate it all LOL - thanks for sharing!!
Awesome recipe, turned perfectly everyone loved it! Thanks for another great recipe!!!
All my guests (I doubled the recipe & used evaporated milk with the broth, and medium shells) said it was 5 star restaurant quality. I've made it several times (I'm addicted for sure). Sometimes if it's a bit cheesy/stringy, just add some cream/milk & stir and it will be perfect, or, if too watery, just stir and let it sit a few minutes, it will thicken as it sits. Slight adjustments are to be expected with different size noodles, etc. All is well.
Hi! I made this tonight with some bbq chicken. HUGE hit! My daughter is the pickiest person ever, she gobbled this right up. I made it, I think in a larger portion. I used a pound of pene rigate and increased all of the ingredients!
My grandsons would love this!
Made this on Wednesday. Used Boursin too! Very easy to do. So creamy and cheesy. Delicious. Loved it hot. Loved the leftovers cold! Lol! 🌈👍😎
Boursin...smart!! Noted 👍🏻 thank you 😊
Oh man. I made this last night with about 1 part pepperjack and 2 parts cheddar. Gooey deliciousness in under half an hour!
I just made this starting with chopped celery and onion, added pasta ( cavatopi?) and broth along with a roasted poblano chile seeded, peeled and chopped, the parm and butter. Six minutes done added cheddar and monterey jack and half a round of Boursin instead of cream cheese. A sprinkle of lawreys seasoned salt. Now i want to taste it.
Super easy super delicious!!!
Hi! I found you a few weeks ago, pretty much by accident. Love your videos. I have had a pressure cooker for a couple of years. I didn't use it a whole lot, but now..I do. Thanks for the recipes! Quick question on the recipe for this mac and cheese, if you wouldn't mind, How many does this recipe serve? This one and the lasagna rolls are the first 2 recipes I am going to try. I am working on my shopping list!
I made this and it was amazing.
oved the recipe as its getting colder just wondering if you could freeze left overs cooking for 1 Cheers
I really like that cookbook. Hope you'll make more videos!
I plan to! Subscribe for new video alerts!
Going to try this!!
LMAO- the money pit reference 😂😂😂
Super fast and super yummy!!
Hello! If anyone is wondering if this can be made with gluten free noodles, yes it can. I did it tonight and it worked out just fine. (I used Catelli macaroni.) I might add a touch more fluid next time however. Thanks for the recipe!
So if you were using a whole box of the same pasta which i think is 4 cups - would ingredients best doubled for everytging including water and chicken broth?
My mother in law taught me a trick with cheese sauce.... the secret is nutmeg! Not too much.. just a touch 😊 thought I'd share!
Hi Jeffrey, I really enjoy your videos and recipes! I didn't catch the cookbook you said the Mac and cheese came out of! Also do you have a cookbook with Your Pressure Luck recipies? I enjoy watching the video but I am finding it hard to get and save the written recipies! Not easy on Pinterest either! Help!
Yum, made today for a quick lunch, I used Ham better than bullion and roasted garlic better than bullion for extra flavor
Jeff can you use milk instead of the water?
Great idea, but really don't like that much liquid left in pasta for mac & cheese - would it still work and the pasta cook OK if I added a half cup or a cup less liquid at the start? Thx!
On the box of noodles in this video, what is the recommended cooking time for conventional methods? I have pasta recommended 9 minutes, conventional method. How long should I cook that in a pressure cooker for al dente?
There is pressure level and pressure cook, what do set both at
I don't think I will ever make mac and cheese any other way! After giving my husband a bite fresh from the pot, his remark was "excellent". Your beef and broccoli will be an upcoming pot meal!
Marisa Wagner FANTASTIC! SO glad you loved! So easy!
Talk about his corn beef and cabbage instapot. It will blow your fucking mind
Looks yummy
Just made this for lunch. It had no water when it finished cooking and was kind of stuck to the pot. I still put it on saute and added all the cheese. And it still turned out fine. Very good. I cooked up some bacon in my 3qt IP and put that on top. :)
In looking at some other folks who have made Mac & cheese they use 4 cups of liquid. Maybe I should try that next time.
That is for 16 oz of pasta.
Can you make this with gluten free pasta or will the cooking time be different? Will the gluten free pasta fall apart too much? Thanks.
Anyone know the name of the tune that is playing in the background?
I made this for my kids and they absolutely LOVED it. I was wondering if anyone has tried freezing it?
Hey jeff i saw this in another video and i thought you would appreciate it get one of those big black binder clips to clip on to your pot and your instant pot while stirring and your bowl stays still i thought you would just love it i got it of sandy Clifton's videos thought it was really neat so anyway you are awesome keep up the goos work and ill try and learn how to take a picture of what im talking about so its not like having to read a freaking novel to see what im saying have a great night !!!!!
If we wanted to add ham or broccoli to this would it change the cook time?
Jeffery your a card you are so funny you make me laugh getting my instant pot today and can't wait to see what you do to amaze us
I made this recipe today after the 6 minutes I found the pasta was not fully cooked so I put it back on for 4 minutes then it was fine. Not sure if the 6 minutes was for the 2 cup measurement. And 2 1/2 took 10 minutes. I never used cream cheese before in mac and cheese it gave it a slightly different flavor.
Mine tasted good but the cheddar cheese didn't melt into the sauce. It stayed separated from the sauce. I used a block of cheese that I shredded myself, not the bagged stuff. Anyone know what I may have done wrong?
Best ever!!
You're a good boy, your mother must be really proud of you! Thanks for the great recipes!!!
wait. This guy is hilarious!!! I keep watching videos just to be entertained, but I will try one of the recipes soon. I just got my pot so still experimenting. But omg, finally someone fun and funny to watch! yay. I feel like you should try stand up if you haven't already.
Naureen Meyer love this! Thank you so much!!
Naureen, you posted 2 years ago, I hope you have tried some of his recipes. Every one I have tried has been wonderful.
Boy you can hook up some food especially pasta. I always bust out laughing when you eat at the end 😂. I can tell you truly enjoy it 🥰🍝.
You just about starve me to DEATH LOL I love your video's.. Thanks for sharing
Website with recipe is not working, at least for me.
I love your channel I just found you
I would caution people to not use already-shredded packaged cheese. I don't know if it's coated in a wax, or what, but it's really difficult to get it to melt and mix in with the macaroni. Shredding cheese yourself is the way to go, for sure. Good job. :)
I didn't have this issue...with the melting...but, when I went to clean it, the cheese rolled into sticky balls like gum, or curds, and it stuck to the wash cloth pretty good. It was definitely weird.
I read somewhere that preshredded cheese is coated with corn starch to keep it from sticking together in the bag.
LouAnn Law also be cautious of and jar or plastic grated Parmesan cheese. Contains wood dust
If you dislike shredding your own cheese, it's a great chore for a kid!
Try having it stick like glue to your dish brush =( I do have this trouble with cheese that I don't shred myself, all types, but not with it ever melting in a dish like you said.
I have a question for you to save myself a step. Do you need to prep your Better Than Bullion ahead of time? Could you just dump 2 tsps in the instant pot with 3 cups of water instead of one. I thought it would cook in the instant pot.
You should know you can't open the lid at all until the pressure is completely gone. You can only open it when that shiny metal piece goes down completely. One of the many safety features in this pressure cooker. This is what I read from my own Instant Pot instruction manual.
You're correct! I didn't realize it had a safety lock until after I made this video. I still wouldn't ever futz with it though while the pressure pin is still up!
All pressure cookers in Europe and I think in the usa have this feature now, its been a long time since this was a real worry
If you're buying an old-school pressure cooker from a yard sale or church sale or flea market, be careful. I'm pretty sure my grandmother's pressure cooker (circa 1945?) has no such safety feature. Was constantly reminded as a child to keep my paws off the cooker! We never had any accidents/explosions, however, and it got used at least twice weekly!
