Instant Pot Mac & Cheese (Gluten Free)

Instant Pot Mac & Cheese (Gluten Free)

I love making gluten free foods that my family truly loves. I also usually give my recipes to friends to try and test on their families (Thank you Jenkins Family) Not only is this Mac & Cheese good but it cooks in 6 minutes in the Instant Pot… I mean really? I start it when Jake starts to set the table and get our drinks and its done when he is done! You can experiment with your favorite cheeses. Pepper Jack, extra sharp cheddar, whatever you like!
