Pressure Cooker Boxed Kraft Macaroni and Cheese with Broccoli

Created by NELady on August 6, 2023

Step 1: Pour 1 1/4 cups of water into the Instant Pot/Pressure Cooker insert. Place the steaming trivet inside the pot.
Step 2: Open the box of Kraft Macaroni & Cheese, remove the cheese packet, and pour the macaroni into the Instant Pot on top of the steaming trivet.
Step 3: Add the broccoli florets on the steaming trivet above the macaroni in the Instant Pot. (This keeps the broccoli out of the water so it steams instead of boils.)
Step 4: Close the Instant Pot lid securely and set the pressure release valve to the sealing position. Select the "Manual" or "Pressure Cook" function, and set the timer to 4 minutes.
Step 5: Once the cooking time is complete, perform a quick pressure release by carefully turning the pressure release valve to the venting position.
Step 6: Carefully remove the steamed broccoli from the Instant Pot.
Step 7: To the macaroni in the insert, add the cheese packet and 4 tablespoons of butter, then add the milk a splash at a time until you reach your desired creaminess for the cheese sauce. Mix everything thoroughly until the cheese sauce evenly coats the macaroni.
Step 8: Add the steamed broccoli. Gently fold the steamed broccoli into the cheesy macaroni mixture.
Step 9: Taste the dish and add salt and pepper to your liking.
Step 10: Serve immediately.
