Notes
Recipe was tested in both the 6 quart and 8 quart Instant Pot pressure cookers and can be made in either without changing anything.
To make 1 box, use 1.5 cups water and use amounts of butter and milk recommended on package. For 3 boxes Kraft mac and cheese, use 4 cups of water and increase the other ingredients.
For extra creamy mac and cheese, substitute heavy cream for the milk.
