Instant Pot Mac and Cheese

I love Mac and Cheese.   It is my go to comfort food.  This recipe is rich, creamy, cheesy and made in an Instant Pot.  The pasta is first cooked in some chicken broth.  Once it is done, add some cheese, sour cream, seasonings, stir and serve.

This could possible be the best Mac and Cheese ever.   Try it and see what you think.
