Instant Pot Mac and Cheese: The easiest way to make KD Mac and Cheese

What kid does not love KD Mac and Cheese. Okay, granted, when we came from South Africa and started a new life in Canada, my kids took a couple of years to get used to the KD Mac and Cheese taste. But now, they love it and they actually request it as a meal favorite. And I love making it!

The great thing about the KD Mac and Cheese is that it is already fast to make. But making Instant Pot Mack and Cheese is even better! It’s even less effort, and it tastes JUST the same, as if you’ve made it the regular way in the regular pot. The Instant Pot truly does make this the easiest meal to prep for kids. It’s a simple throw in, switch on, and come back when it’s done. So you are eliminating the need to stand in front of the stove top as you boil the mac and cheese. You’re eliminating the endless stirring. The Instant Pot mac and cheese method definitely is the easiest and the fastest way to make this meal with no effort.

How can I save money on this Mac and Cheese for the Instant Pot?

Mac and Cheese for the Instant Pot is already a cheap and frugal meal, but there is a way that you can make this mac and cheese for the Instant Pot even cheaper. Instead of purchasing the KD boxes, you can purchase a pack of macaroni from Superstore, in the No Name Brand, and also purchase the KD spices from Costco, and in the long run, this will work out cheaper than buying the boxes of KD mac and cheese.

How do I make the Mac and Cheese in the Instant Pot?

First you need to throw the macaroni into the Instant Pot. It is important to distribute it evenly along the bottom of the pot, so that it isn’t in one pile. Even distribution will help it cook so much easier! The next thing is to cover the bottom of the Instant Pot and the Macaroni with water. Make sure it’s covered all the way with about 2 milimetres above the macaroni.

To complete your Instant Pot Mac and Cheese, you can now put on the lid and put it to seal position. The next thing is to put the instant pot on, on Pressure cook and let it cook until the macaroni is done. It is at this point that you add the cheese. This still makes one of the most delicious Instant Pot Mac and Cheese meal that is kid friendly!
