Instant Pot Mac n Cheese is creamy cheese sauce and pasta heaven in a bowl. It comes together in one pot in just 15 minutes, and is the easiest mac and cheese I’ve ever made. I love this easy recipe because it’s a quick and easy way to make this creamy classic. You will definitely want to add this 3 cheese macaroni and cheese to your stash of easy dinner recipes.
