Notes
Culinarian Suggestions: You can make this dish ahead. Just place the insert in the fridge until you are ready to serve. Replace the insert into the pressure cooker and place the pot on warm, occasionally stirring. If the mac and cheese gets a little thick, you can loosen the sauce by adding one tablespoon of milk at a time until you achieve the desired thickness or lack thereof.
