Tips for making Instant Pot Chipotle Mac and Cheese:
-
you can use less or omit the butter for a lighter version
-
you can use any variety of shredded cheese(s) that you would like, I just think cheddar complements chipotle peppers best
-
be sure to quick release pressure to avoid having soggy noodles
-
stir in milk and cheese immediately for the creamiest result
-
if you like your food super spicy, throw 1-2 more chipotle peppers into your milk mixture
-
this stores well in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to one week
-
to re-heat, warm using the ‘saute’ function on your Instant Pot stirring frequently or put in an covered oven-proof dish and bake at 350 F until warmed throughout
-
this was made and tested using a 6 quart Instant Pot. I cannot yet attest to how well this works with a mini or an 8 quart Instant Pot
