15-Minute Instant Pot® Macaroni & Cheese Recipe: A Food Coma in the Making by Donna John

While scrolling through Facebook, one of those enticing, draw-you-in food videos popped up in my feed for an Instant Pot® macaroni and cheese recipe. After quickly surveying my kitchen, the realization that not all the ingredients were accounted for started to sink in. What to do? Improvise! 

The result was a creamy mac and cheese, another successful Instant Pot® endeavor and ... food coma. Turn this into a meal by adding chopped brisket, sausage or ham. Diced jalapeno, onion and bacon would also not be frowned upon.
