    Don’t you mean 3 Tablespoons of butter rather than teaspoons. Watching the video, looks like 3 Tbs to me…

    I have an 8 quart instant pot. Does that matter? Would it be the same?

    I just bought our crock pot yesterday and I was anxious to try the mac and cheese recipe. After the 4 minutes was up and I released the steam, there was still a lot of water left in the pan. What did I do wrong?

    Hi I tried a crock pot Mac and cheese recipe that was a slow cook one and it came out very gritty. Is this one like that at all? Cause I think the cheese didn’t get hot enough to melt all the way.

      This particular recipe is for an Instant Pot/Pressure Cooker, so a slow cooker wouldn’t result in the same outcome.

    This was so easy, my first successful Crock Pot XL recipe I made! Thank you! I did need to add a little more milk, but it is fabulous!

    Will this work with regular milk? I don’t have evaporated milk on hand.

      I haven’t tried it, but I would *think* that it would work?
