Ingredients

4 cups water
1 (16 ounce) package elbow macaroni
3 tablespoons butter, softened
2 teaspoons dry mustard powder
1 ½ teaspoons hot sauce (such as Frank's® RedHot®)
1 teaspoon salt, or more to taste
12 ounces American cheese, cubed
1 (6 ounce) package processed cheese (such as Velveeta®), cubed
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ cup heavy whipping cream, or more to taste

Directions

Combine water, macaroni, butter, mustard powder, hot sauce, and salt in a multi-functional pressure cooker. Stir to combine. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 4 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove lid. Stir the macaroni. Keep pot on the Warm setting. Slowly add American cheese, processed cheese, and Parmesan cheese; allow to melt. Gradually stir in heavy cream until desired thickness is reached.

Cook's Notes:

Use any kind of pasta you prefer.

Instead of just water, you could use a mixture of water and chicken broth or all chicken broth.

After adding heavy cream, you can add any other seasonings desired, but we think it's perfect just as is.
