This recipe makes the perfect amount, so you won’t get sick of leftovers! But if you have leftovers, store in an airtight container in the fridge. There’s nothing like fresh, homemade mac and cheese. How to Store and Reheat Instant Pot Macaroni and Cheese You can use whatever combination of cheeses suits your taste. I try to avoid blends that contain mozzarella cheese for mac and cheese, because it is very stringy (like pizza). I purchased two types of cheddar cheese blends for this macaroni and cheese from the store. Simply add cheese in small handfuls and mix quickly to combine. However, I haven’t found a problem using pre-shredded cheese! I recommend adding the cheese into the hot noodles in small increments to prevent clumping. Certain mac and cheese recipes advise you to grate your own cheese for best results. Some people claim the starches in pre-shredded cheese stop it from melting and incorporating well when cooking. Pre-shredded cheese contains preservatives to prevent clumping. ![]() My favorite vegetable to add to Instant Pot Mac and Cheese is frozen peas. Mix again, and it’s the perfect temperature for kids! The hot noodles and sauce warm up the frozen veggies, and the frozen veggies cool down the mac and cheese.

I usually use this trick for my soup recipes, but it applies perfectly here too. Quick Tip: My hungry kids tend to get impatient waiting for hot meals to cool. If you have other favorite seasonings for macaroni and cheese, feel free to use those! Some people like nutmeg, garlic powder, or onion powder. It simply enhances the flavors of the cheese. The mustard and hot sauce add flavor to the finished dish, but not any heat. Add a splash of milk or cream if needed to thin. Add additional 1/2 cup cheese if you’d like it cheesier.
