Instant Pot Triple Cheese Broccoli Mac
Macaroni is pretty much a staple side dish in any home. But it can get boring if you are eating plain old mac and cheese all the time. This Instant Pot Triple Cheese Broccoli Mac is a great way to shake things up a bit, and sneak in some veggies too.
We ate this Instant Pot Triple Cheese Broccoli Mac with country style spare ribs, which I also cooked in my instant pot. We love cheese, so this recipe for sure helped with that addiction.
You will need a steamer basket for this recipe, which you can find here, and if you are looking for other great accessories for your Instant Pot, get those here. What ever you do, let me assure you that you want to add this to your menu for this week.
I am still amazed at how wonderful this machine is and am actually thinking about buying a second one, a bigger one. Actually this one. As always, my kids enjoyed this way too much, well not too much but they loved it! I hope you enjoy Instant Pot Triple Cheese Broccoli Mac as much as we did.

Set IP valve to STEAM? Later you say to do a quick release. And it says let it come up to pressure. I don't believe (but I'm not sure) that it will come to measure set at steam.

You want to make sure the valve is closed. I will fix this
