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. ☀️🙂
OMG, Thank you so much for what you do...... You have given us so many idea’s for how to use our Instant Pot...

Katie Kat try its delious❤️
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.
so simple love this ca t wait to try!!
I can’t stop watching your videos! I’d love watching you even if I didn’t use an instant pot!
Cant wait to try this wow looks delicious ty for the recipe

Just got my instant pot for Christmas and your videos are awesome. Thank you so much! It’s MAC and cheese time.
Fairytale Grrl Me, too!!
Made this tonight and it was excellent! Thx 😊
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.
So happy I found your UA-cam channel! Love this video! Fun and easy to follow. Love my instant pot. Can't wait to try this. Thanks for taking the time to make it!!:)
Thank YOU!
I come back every Thanksgiving to this video. Best Instant Pot Mac & cheese ever 🔥
I made this tonight great recipe! Thank you
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 🤩😍
That looks delicious! I will try this recipe because we love Mac and Cheese here in the deep South!!!! Yummy!
Thanks for making cooking fun. I love my Instant Pot. Now you made it fun.
Thank YOU, Linda!
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?..........
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
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?..........
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 made this and it was amazing.
YUMMY !!!! I learned something new today-almost May 2021.
My grandsons would love this!
I love your books! My daughter picked this one to try for Thanksgiving dinner this year. Thank you. :)
You are so welcome! Same to you!
Made this to go along with your pulled pork recipe. I used your Boursin recipe and added cheddar and American cheeses. Amazing flavor!!!
Made this with my kids and they loved it. Very creamy!
Super easy super delicious!!!
I really like that cookbook. Hope you'll make more videos!
I plan to! Subscribe for new video alerts!
I made the new version of your recipe with 4-6 servings. It was delicious!!
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 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!
enjoy ALL your videos. very informative and very entertaining. getting a new Insta Pot duo 7 in 1 tomorrow. hope i like it.
Super fast and super yummy!!
I'm late to the party, but I made this yesterday and it was SO GOOD. Thanks, Jeffrey. :)
Best ever!!
OK, the wife made this for dinner tonight, and it was great. Thanks for the recipe. We'll be making this again.
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!
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.
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 😊
The BEST and easiest Mac and Cheese EVER! This is the only mac and cheese recipe I will ever make from now on!
He is soooooo happy
Looks yummy
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!!!
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...
This is the first of your older videos I've seen. Wow you have come so far in lighting, camera work, Etc
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.
Thank you
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.
Oh man. I made this last night with about 1 part pepperjack and 2 parts cheddar. Gooey deliciousness in under half an hour!
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 UA-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!!!
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!
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 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.
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!
Going to try this!!
LMAO- the money pit reference 😂😂😂
lovely job. :)
Omg Gouda and cream cheese 😯💞
I love your channel I just found you
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!
Yum, made today for a quick lunch, I used Ham better than bullion and roasted garlic better than bullion for extra flavor
Better than Bouillon makes the absolute best flavored stock you can buy. The only thing better is your own homemade stock, and I even use a little bit of BTB in my homemade stock just to amp up the flavor. It's pretty high in sodium though - so when there's a little extra $ in the account, we spring for the low sodium version, because it's a bit pricier (nearly double the cost in our supermarket) but I think you can order it on Amazon as well. It's amazing stuff!
redhotjezebel yeah. It is a game changer for sure. I won't use any other Bouillon or broth again! And the low sodium is a great option too if you're trying to be sodium conscious!
I have started to use 1 teaspoon of Better than Bouillon to 2 cups water. Still as flavorful less sodium. My husband said we are not paying extra for something to be left out.(i.e. low fat ,low sugar ,low sodium.)
yum
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 would recommend replacing the water with canned evaporated milk. Not condensed, that has sugar in it. It must be evaporated milk. Because of the canning process evaporated milk can no longer curdle. It is ideal for use in pressure cookers and slow cookers where dairy is desired, but curdling isn't.
ohdogwow2 - thank you for this 🙂
I tried this recipe using your suggestion. Based on my experience, the milk needs to be added after the macaroni is cooked. My results were not very appetizing looking and resulted in a very thick and gooey sauce. I had to add additional milk to thin it out.
ohdogwow2 dich
ohdogwow2 n
I am in Australia, can you spell ' the better than booyon' I don't think we have it here. Ps love your videos you are always so enthusiastic, it's catching!
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 for my kids and they absolutely LOVED it. I was wondering if anyone has tried freezing it?
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
thack you i made the mac cheese it was so good
Damm good Bro!!
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 !!!!!
You just about starve me to DEATH LOL I love your video's.. Thanks for sharing
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!
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.
Add 1/3 cup of heavy cream to this and it puts it over the top.
I will have to try this, but I think that with mine I will wait until after the mac is cooked before adding in the cheese and butter. I think I will drain at least some of the broth as well after it finishes cooking and during the mixing stage because I like my mac n cheese a bit on the thicker and cheesy side.
I made this tonight as I mentioned above. It was the cheesiest Mac n Cheese that I made in my life. SO GOOD!! Eating Mac N Cheese now while watching the Chiefs/Pats game.
Jeff can you use milk instead of the water?
Yum yum yum 😋
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.
