Instant Pot Cheeseburger Macaroni

Instant Pot Cheeseburger Macaroni

Just 10 minutes in your pressure cooker makes this cheesy goulash hamburger helper style pasta dinner that your whole family will love.

I used Instant Pot or pressure cooker !

You could also use another style of noodle other than elbow macaroni !!

If you like a thicker consistency let it sit in the pot for about 5 minutes after you have turned it off.

Because it will thicken quite a bit!

But if you like it a bit soupier then serve and eat immediately.

Either way it’s creamy and delicious.
