Instant Pot Jalapeno Popper Mac and Cheese? I know, it sounds almost too good to be true! It is a wonderful, yet grown up version, of the traditional macaroni and cheese dish that Kraft made famous for us during our childhood. The jalapenos give a delightful zip and adult flare to this comfort food staple and will have your diners asking for seconds. Since it is made in the Instant Pot, that really isn’t hard to do!
