Instructions
- Heat the Instant Pot using the Sauté function.
- Add the beef and cook, stirring occasionally until it is broken up into small pieces. Continue to cook for 3-5 minutes or until the beef is just beginning to brown.
- Next, add the onion and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the onion is soft and the beef is browned and crisp.
- Add the garlic, chili powder, cumin, and paprika, and cook for an additional minute.
- Next, add beef stock and scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the Instant Pot with a wooden spoon - we don’t want to get a “Burn” notice!
- Next add the milk, pasta, diced tomatoes, and kidney beans. Stir to combine and ensure the pasta is fully submerged.
- Season with a generous pinch of salt and pepper, about 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper.
- Attach the lid and ensure the valve is in the “sealing” position. Set the Instant Pot to Pressure Cook - Manual for 5 minutes.
- When the Instant Pot finishes, release the pressure manually by switching the valve to the “venting” position. Be careful! It will steam and may splatter!
- In a small bowl, stir together the cheddar cheese and cornstarch.
- Turn the Instant Pot to the Sauté function again and add the cheese ½ cup at a time, stirring constantly. When the cheese has fully melted, add the next ½ cup. Continue stirring until the Chili Mac is thick and creamy.
- Season with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
- Serve this Chili Mac garnished with sliced green onion, sliced jalapeño, or chopped parsley.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
