This easy sauté and dump recipe has a full palette of flavors that will please everybody. Even my picky eater son loved this meal! Most nights this boy refuses to eat or will request muffins until we give in!
Just a few ingredients including the magic one of a Ranch packet, a box of mac and cheese and hamburger. This recipe came from my close friends who have 4 kiddos and they rave about this recipe all the time.
Just a few steps and you are all set. Sauté the meat until it is no longer pink. Add beef broth, boxes of mac and cheese and ranch seasoning. Set the Instant Pot to high pressure for 4 minutes. When it is finished, quick release and finish the mac and cheese directions according to the box and brand of choice.
Dinner served!

Super simple and easy, I love it!! I think my hubby and my kids would go crazy for this hamburger mac & cheese, instant pot style! I’m finding I use my instant pot a lot more than my crockpot simply because it can get things done just so much faster than having to get up early and prep a crockpot meal. Pinning this for later!
It is so yummy!! Instant Pot has changed me and our eating habits. I used to not cook at all. Now I am making up my own recipes 🙂
