Notes
Recipe was made in a 6-quart Instant Pot electric pressure cooker, but an 8 quart can be used without changing time or ingredient amounts.
For a creamier mac and cheese, add an additional 3 tablespoons butter after pressure cooking along with the cream and cheese.
You can use 2 ropes of smoked sausage without changing any other ingredients or cooking times.
