All you need is the ingredient list to hit the go button.

Start With Good Quality Ground Beef

You'll be saving tons of money by cooking this at home and avoiding the fast food restaurants, so buy high quality organic beef for the good flavor. Get 15-20% fat content for the best results. Start on the sauté function to brown the meat and get that flavor you need.

Then, you can just throw in the pasta, in this case elbow macaroni, you don't have to cook it separately with your Instant Pot. Then you add in a can of Campbell's cheese soup, garlic powder, cubed Velveeta cheese, and cook on high pressure for just 6 minutes. Once you release the pressure valve, you'll need to stir the mixture until smoothly mixed together. But as you can see, you'll only have about 20 minutes of time invested in this recipe, even if you're slow reading the instructions.

The Reason You Use Velveeta Cheese

The reason that Velveeta Cheese is used in this recipe is that it melts up creamy, and never turns stringy like many cheddar cheeses do. It's considered a processed cheese and it's a little expensive, but think of the massive amounts of money you're saving by avoiding the fast food restaurant. In fact, just the money you save on the sodas, will completely feed your entire family a home cooked meal.

Once you get used to using the Instant Pot, you'll note that many of the recipes start with browning the meat, then stirring in some broth to loosen the browned fat from the bottom of the pan. Then you'll throw in the rest of the ingredients from a list, set the pressure cooking timer, and then just wait until the alarm tells you it's done. That's a standard operating procedure in most recipes. Once you get that down pat, you'll be able to whip together any one of thousands of recipes available online in 20 to 30 minutes. You can't beat the Instant Pot for ease of use, speed, taste, and healthy eating.
