Mac N Cheese in my home is definitely a big deal, we love it thick and creamy. Since last year I have been using my crockpot recipe which for the most part was amazing. I was able to set it to cook before I left my home and when I got back from running errands we were able to eat whenever we were ready. Thanks to my pressure cooker I don’t have to use my crockpot anymore and I can now convert that recipe into a pressure cooker recipe.
It’s honestly shocking how long it truly takes to make these noodles and it truly amazing for this single mom of 4. It’s so convenient and perfect for our taste buds, we are a bit spoiled when it comes to mac n cheese. I used up to 5 different cheese in my batches and even with all of that my kids ask to top theirs off with more cheese in the end.
Although we can all agree that this is an amazing recipe in my home, we do have a toppings war going on in my home. I have two older preteen boys who love to add maple bacon to their bowls, while my princesses would rather keep it super creamy and cheesy. I personally love it both ways but sometimes I like to add a dash of buttered panko and green onions to mix things up. Make sure you give it a try and throw some crispy Maple Bacon bits on top I promise you won’t be sorry.
I hope you loved this recipe and come back and let us know what you think and what toppings you put on your bowl. If you loved this recipe head over and check out my Lemon and Herb Chicken and Mashed Potatoes. These two recipes go amazing with each other.
