Triple Cheddar Instant Pot Mac-n-Cheese + Cabot Cheese Giveaway: Day 7

It's Day 7 of my 12 Days of Holiday Giveaways!

Today is all about CHEESE.

Oh glorious cheese, I love thee.

This post is in partnership with Cabot Cheese and contains affiliate links for your convenience. 

Well, this is a food blog, so I figured it was high time to give away some actual food!  And to be honest, I believe I picked one of the best foods.

CHEESE.

I'm so sorry if you are allergic or intolerant, something bad must have been happening the day you were born.  Please keep reading {I know you have someone in your life who loves this stuff}.  And for those that have been graced by it's beauty you will love this blog post!

Cabot Cheese has long been a favorite cheese brand of mine.  Established in 1919, it is nearing 100 years strong.  This award winning cheese comes from happy, healthy cows that product rich, buttery milk from over 1,000 co-op farms.

Ever since Cabot Cheese sent me this HUGE BOX OF CHEESE, I've been slicing off a piece almost daily and including it in all our meals.

No one has been complaining {and I have 3 kids....they complain}.

I wanted to create a recipe my kids would DEVOUR so I set my sights on a classic mac-n-cheese, but with a bit of twist by making it in my Instant Pot.  Because the Instant Pot and cheese go very well together {trust me, I develop recipes for a living}.

Let me tell you this, dix the boxed stuff and make this homemade mac-n-cheese!  It's so easy and I'm not just saying this because I cook all the time, it is SO EASY.

The cooking time is just 4 minutes!

All you need is elbow macaroni, butter, salt, water, half and half and cheese.  Just six ingredients.  I mean these are all things you have in your home already.  I made this into a triple cheddar version using two kinds of Cabot Cheese {Vermont Sharp and Seriously Sharp} + a bit of American cheese, aka Velveeta for extra creaminess.

So I made this {again} just a few days ago while all the kids were in school and the house was quiet.  Let me tell you this.

DON'T DO IT.

It's dangerous.  

I gave myself a few scoops in a bowl for lunch.  I ate that and then proceeded to fill another bowl.  I could not stop.  It's so creamy and smooth and just pretty much that best thing since sliced bread.  Oh, and the kids went bananas over it, so that's always a plus.

Cabot Cheese has graciously offered to giveaway TWO boxes of their cheese to some lucky winners {a $25 value}.  Enter via the Rafflecopter Giveaway icon below for multiple entries.  U.S. residents only please.  Two lucky winners will be randomly chosen on December 10th.
