PRESSURE COOKER CREAMY WHOLE GRAIN MAC AND CHEESE WITH PARMESAN BROCCOLI TOPPING

Whole Grain Creamy Pressure Cooker Mac and Cheese made in minutes in your handy dandy Electric Pressure Cooker (aka Instant Pot).

I love a buttery, crunchy topping with my mac and cheese.  And yes, we're even gonna make that a nutritious bomb in the form of Panko Parmesan Roasted Broccoli.

INGREDIENTS

– Mac and Cheese: – Whole wheat macaroni  – butter – Kosher salt – dry mustard – cayenne  – garlic powder – cornstarch – water

INGREDIENTS

– skim milk – cheddar cheese – quesadilla cheese – broccoli florets – Olive oil – whole wheat panko breadcrumbs – finely grated parmesan cheese – dry italian seasoning – Kosher salt – freshly ground

Place broccoli florets in a gallon size resealable bag, drizzle with olive oil, shake to coat. Add panko bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning; shake to coat.

Dump broccoli and crumbs onto the prepared baking sheet. Season with Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Roast for 10-15 minutes.

While broccoli is roasting, add the macaroni, butter, salt, dry mustard, cayenne, garlic powder, cornstarch, 2 ½ cups of water, and only 2 cups of milk to the pressure cooker pot.

When cooking is complete, use a quick release. Select sauté function, add ½ cup of milk. Serve immediately, topped with the roasted broccoli and extra crumbs.
