BOXED MAC AND CHEESE BAKED RECIPES
UPGRADED KRAFT MAC N CHEESE RECIPE - FOOD.COM
This recipe came from a Kraft newsletter. It's very simple, takes the 'blue box' of mac and cheese and adds just a few ingredients and steps to make it taste a bit more homemade. Note that this calls for the "dinner" Kraft mac n cheese, which is the one with the packet of cheese that you squeeze out, not the standard one with the powdered cheese. If you have to use the standard variety, use 2 boxes and add more milk or sour cream, as it tends to dry out during baking.

Steps:
- Turn on an electric pressure cooker or Instant Pot to sauté and add the butter. Once the butter is melted, turn the pressure cooker off. Add the pasta, water, and salt. Seal the pressure cooker. Use the manual setting to set the pressure cooker to cook for 6 minutes under HIGH pressure. It will take about 10 minutes to come up to pressure.
- When the cook time is done, immediately do a quick release of the pressure. Turn the pressure cooker off. Open it, add the cheese and half-and-half, and stir until combined. Cover the pressure cooker again and let sit for 3 minutes for the cheese to melt and the sauce to thicken. Serve immediately.

ONE-POT BROCCOLI MAC AND CHEESE RECIPE - NYT COOKING
In the time it takes to make boxed macaroni and cheese, you can have a homemade version that’s creamy with lots of sharp Cheddar, studded with broccoli and doesn’t require making a roux. Instead, the sauce is thickened by the pasta’s starch: As the noodles cook in milk, the milk thickens to the consistency of cream and the pasta absorbs the seasonings. Here, that’s garlic powder, but you could also use mustard powder, ground cayenne or grated nutmeg like in traditional mac and cheese. The broccoli pieces end up soft and sweet, but if you want more bite, add them halfway through cooking.
