Easy Instant Pot Mac & Cheese with Ground Beef. Creamy, delicious macaroni and with added protein! Perfect for the kids on an adult only’s date night or for your next easy family dinner recipe.

Instant Pot Mac & Cheese

The biggest gift my husband has given our marriage is the desire to go on a date each week. That gift is not always appreciated each week. I struggle to get out of my workout clothes, get my hair brushed and have the kids ready for a sitter. I get his desire, but his passion for weekly date nights can be really hard on my evenings. I mean, a nice dinner and a glass of wine might sound lovely to many, but the bed and a white noise machine is usually my desire at 8 PM each evening. I digress…

To help my evenings, and to help put me in the right place of mind for my upcoming date, I really try hard to make dinner easy for me (and the kids). Normally that is boxed macaroni and cheese but I always have guilt when this is the gourmet meal being presented before my kids.

This Instant Pot Mac & Cheese is almost as easy as your favorite Kraft Mac & Cheese box, only it also incorporates ground beef giving your kids some added protein and you the peace of mind of having put in a little extra effort (only a little, though, we have to keep it easy!) Let us know how this meal goes for your next date night or perhaps as your next meal as a family dinner recipe.

Enjoy!
