Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef extra lean
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin ground
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 pound macaroni elbows uncooked
- 4 cups water
- 4 cups cheddar cheese sharp, grated
- 2 cups gouda cheese grated; or Havarti, Provolone or other melty white cheese
Instructions
- Sauté the beef along with the garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, ground cumin, salt, and Worcestershire sauce in your Instant Pot for 5-7 minutes. Stir and break the beef up with your spoon as you go along. Most of the liquid should be evaporated before you move onto the next step.
- Add the macaroni and water to the Instant Pot. Give it a good stir. Close the lid and make sure the valve is set to "sealing". Cook on high pressure for 5 minutes (it'll take about 10 minutes for the Instant Pot to come up to pressure).
- Meanwhile, grate your cheeses.
- Once the countdown has finished, do a quick pressure release.
- Stir in the cheeses (a large wooden spoon works well for this). I like to stir in about a third of the cheese at a time until it's nice and creamy, and then repeat until all the cheese has been used.
- Season with extra salt & pepper as needed. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Stove top cooking tips: You can make this on the stove too. I suggest browning the beef in a large pot and cooking the macaroni as normal. Once the macaroni is cooked, drain it and then add it to the pot with the beef. Stir in the cheeses as directed.
- I use this 6-quart Instant Pot.
