Instant Pot Chili Mac And Cheese
  1. Melt 2 tablespoons unsalted butter in a 6-quart or larger electric pressure cooker on the highest Sauté function. Add 1 pound lean ground beef and cook, breaking up the beef and stirring, until cooked through, about 6 minutes. Turn off the heat. Add 1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes and their juices and 1 tablespoon chili seasoning, and stir to combine. Add 1 pound short, dry pasta, 3 cups water, and 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and stir to combine.

  2. Lock on the lid and make sure the pressure valve is set to seal. Set to cook for 5 minutes under HIGH pressure. It will take about 10 minutes to come up to pressure. Meanwhile, shred 12 ounces cheddar or pepper jack cheese (about 3 cups), and drain and rinse 1 can kidney beans.

  3. When the cook time is up, quick release the pressure. Turn the pressure cooker off. Add the cheese, kidney beans, and ½ cup half-and-half, and stir, stir, stir. Cover and let sit for 3 minutes. Serve immediately.
