Don't know how I lived without this for so long! I make dog food for 2 of our dogs ruclips.net/user/postUgkxG-7WiT7ocumjytOpHDFt632PL0pxXRAg (we have 5!) and it is so much quicker in this. Love having the inner pot stainless so I can use my immersion blender right in it without worrying about scratching. It makes potatoes great and fast! Still working on the vegetables, first time came out great, second time I did different ones and they were a little too mushy. Just need to adjust the time. I highly recommend this pot!!!
I made this tonight and it was incredible! My husband went back for seconds and thirds! I really appreciate you making these videos. I am not creative when it comes to cooking so recipes are a must for me. I will probably cook my way through your whole channel! Thank you so much!
I have made this a handful of times for my kids and family for a birthday party and it has been a hit every single time! Kids always eat every bite or ask for more. And this recipe fed about 15+ people at a birthday party.
just saw video and made it, all depends on brand of noodles and size, the noodle i used needed only 3 minutes to cook, it was a little over cooked and i did not wait on pressure release i did after the 5 minute cook time, i started the manual release immediately, which saved me from having porridge’s, but it was Delicious and very flavorful TY so much
I have made this using your recipe twice and it’s turned out amazing both times. I cut your recipe in half though because it’s just me by myself. I didn’t know mac & cheese could taste like this I didn’t know.
I did the mac and cheese cooking my noodles 6 minutes as we like our noodles big and plump. And I used evaporative milk which I added an extra quarter cup of it to the mix. It was perfect. I wish I had added a picture but family could barely wait to dig in. It was a hit ! Very good and easy recipe. Tha k you!
Paula Deen suggests cooking the macaroni longer than other pasta because the extra water absorbed will keep it from soaking the moisture up out of the cheese when you bake it. Of course, when I fell asleep once and a cup macaroni absorbed a whole gallon of water, I don’t think that’s what she meant. But it was an interesting example that the macaroni will continue to absorb as much water as you want to give it for as long as you want to cook it.
I made your macaroni and cheese tonight for supper. It came out really good. I serve mine with stewed tomatoes thickened with corn starch. My husband really liked it. Thanks for the recipe.
How can I say thank you? I have made this twice and my wife loves it! She asked me to make it today as a side dish for Christmas dinner. You are amazing!!! Many Blessings and Merry Merry Happy Happy!!!
This recipe is the first one I’ve made in my foodi. I got it yesterday and besides air frying chicken nuggets and fries for my little guy today, I also made this Mac n cheese. It’s SO yummy! I had all ingredients on hand which made things even better!! My little guy ate two small bowls already 😂
Wow lady! I watched another video on mac and cheese with the ninja foodi and I was gonna give it a try until I found your video. I like that you add additional cheese on top before you air crisp. Thanks you. It looks delicious. I gotta try this.
Hi Lisa, that’s the best economical mac and cheese I’ve seen , no chicken broth needed, just the cheese and the cheese topping at the end. Can I suggest sliced tomatoes on top under the broil, delicious!!! Love your recipes x
I bought this machine and the recipe for Mac and cheese calls for baking soda and lemon juice then add water, I've never heard of this and don't want to try it if I don't have too, so thank you for this video.
Easy man cheese. I like mellow cheeses but use what you like and any leftovers you can reheat or make Mac n cheese balls or sticks. Thanks munching and Chatting!
Made this the other day, and about to tonight. It’s so easy and delicious. My family whose picky on texture of homemade Mac ‘n cheese loved it. Thanks!
Tiara Texas, I mean right??!!!! I thought surely she was going to scoop that up, pan it, an put it in the oven! I know I'm late lol! I just bought my Foodi today and have had this video in que for this moment!
@@pressurecrisp Cade is being sarcastic. He’s saying she couldn’t see inside the pot. No worries though because my 7-yr-old loved watching she’s making it today for Thanksgivings 😀🙏🏾
@@clashley25 lol-Right over my head-guess I'll have to reshoot it-lol. That's awesome you 7 year old is going to make Mac n cheese! Hope it came out well! She is amazing! Happy. Thanksgiving!
@@pressurecrisp I came out delicious! It was all she wanted to eat. And it was the first dish to be gone before the day was over. I allowed her to make it, with supervision, of course, and she did very good. We will be make it again for dinner this week, and definitely for Christmas. It's our new tradition.❤❤❤
I have to try this, I've been so lazy with my Ninja, just using air crisp for potatoes. I'm determined to use for one pot meals. This is my daughter's favourite!!
Thank you so much Carrie! Made this for my mom today-delivered it to her at the nursing home and she gobbled it right up! I did sprinkle. the top with bacon for her!
Thanks ANFONIE B! Glad you liked it-its what my mom made when I was a kid. I'm going to make a southern style potato salad tomorrow with bacon-hope it comes. out good. Let me know how you like the Mac n cheese! Thanks!
Force yourself to break into the mac and cheese. You know that you want to lol. I'm going to make this tonight. I wish that it was tonight at teatime as I'm now hank marvin. Cheers Lisa lol
Hey "sis"! lol Just wanted to give you a big thumbs up for this recipe! Made this yesterday and it is a HOME RUN! Best mac and cheese I ever made and so simple to do!
Its impressive how many thing s you can m are in the Ninja Foodi-it really is. remember you can cut this recipe in half not sure if you have a family but it makes a large amount! Thank you stephanie holmes!
YYYEEESSS! Just got my Ninja in and was looking for this recipe! Also, I'm wondering if this machine can make a good green bean casserole? Subscribed and liked! :)
Yes. If you have raw green beans, the pressure cooker will cook them up in a jiffy. Then just pour the mushroom soup in over top of them. I would use the slow cooker function on high for a few minutes to get the whole thing nice and hot through the center. Then toss the French fried onions on top and brown it for five minutes with the Pressure Crisp for 5 minutes just like she did with her Mac and cheese here. Topping the Mac and cheese with French fried onions is also very good.
Lisa, do you have teflon hands lol. Between your knife skills and turning the knob to vent with nae gloves or whatever you must have. Please remember that you need your fingers and hands lol
Amazing Mac and cheese! Wife made it 2 nights ago. Next time we are cooking noodles with an extra cup of water and for 5 minutes instead of the 4. Also will drain out the excess water after cooking noodles. I'm going to try white cheddar as well and maybe add some bacon on top of the cheese during crisp time. I think that will dial it right in!!!!
Bacon makes everything better! :) I. noticed different brands of elbows cook at different times. Same thing with lasagna noodles. I'm so happy you enjoyed the Mac n cheese! I'm a mild cheese lover but you can use whatever kins of cheese that you like and make this recipe yours! thanks Jake!
Use 2 cups of water. and cooking time is the same. If you try to make a 1/4 recipe you still have to use 2 cups of water as the pasta will not cook correctly. Thanks Gayle alley!
This was one of my first videos and didn't really know how to to do anything. I'm not sure if I can fix this but will look into it. Thanks Scottish Lass!
I must try this recipe! The one in the Ninja Foodie book is way too salty. I cannot figure out why it calls for Baking Soda (or is it Baking Powder?)... Thank you for posting this!!!
I made the one from the ninja cookbook OMG it sucked, way to much garlic and onion powder.... I was so looking forward to it tasting GREAT...... I will definitely try your version. Looks more my taste.
It was horrific-lol. Some of the recipes in the book are good but others are not-so if it doesn't seem correct/good adjust to your liking. Decided on a mild Mac n cheese for me lol. you can use different cheeses but a mixture is nice for the different flavors. Thank you for watching Lyn Jennings!
I enjoyed your video and I will be making this tonight with a chicken recipe I found on RUclips. I see that some people were asking about scaling down or up your recipe. Since you used 1pound or 16 oz of pasta and 4 cups of water can I assume a basic ratio for cooking pasta in the Foodi would be every 4 oz of pasta to 1 cup of water?? What are your thoughts ???
I tried the one cup of water the pasta does not cook correctly. Some of the pasta was hard and very under done. Even when I’m making 4 oz of pasta I use 2 cups of water to make sure pasta cooks correctly.
@@pressurecrisp thank you for your quick response. I just bought my foodi last week and I make several dishes with pasta. So I was just trying to find that basic cooking ratio just like when you cook rice on the stove which was 1 cup of rice to 2 cups of water. So while I am on the subject what is the ratio to cook rice in the ninja food?
I usually cook it pot in pot. And I like mine sticky. My ratio is 1 cup rice to 1 1/4-1/2 water I cook HI Pressure for 6 minutes and a 10 minute NR but I usually have chicken cooking at the same time with it.
It was early in my RUclips career-lol. Only had the NF for a few months and wasn't thinking outside the box. You can use a serving dish as long as it is safe in the oven. And only use the serving dish for the broil or AC function. you cannot use most serving dishes using pressure cooking-as it will shatter. Thanks Stephanie!
Really enjoy watching your videos. Quick question on this recipe. The cheese that you use for topping - is it the same mixture that you used for the main ingredients? Cheddar, Colby and Mozzarella?
If I were doing 8 oz of macaroni, would I halve the water amount to 2 cups? One more question--I noticed when I was using the saute function that when I shut the lid, it said "LID". Does it continue to keep it at the same temp, or does it stop cooking at that point and just keep warm?
Yes use 2 cups of water-even if you do a quarter recipe use 2 cups of water.-the pasta wont cook correctly with anything less-i tried it. The saute function will stop cooking. What I use is a cover for a regular pot that I have in my kitchen-you can purchase a glass top from Ninja Kitchen or Kohls. Thanks Marcy hope this helps.
Thats a good question, I almost jumped off. the couch and went out to kitchen to try this-lol. As long as the 2 pounds of pasta fit and all the water. This brings another question how much water-1 pound of pasta is 4 cups of water-I would assume you would use 8 cups of water. But when you go to do a quick release it will most likely spark a lot of starch in this case you could place a kitchen towel over the steam vent to catch most of the spray. Thanks for the question I still may have to try cooking 2 pounds of pasta .. thanks Elaine Bukowsky!
Yes, I'm working on cutting it even further-maybe quarter recipe. Its makes so much. But you can take leftovers and make air crisped Mac n cheese balls or cut them into rectangles-egg and crumb them and air crisp.
Can you tell me the measurement for the mustard? I know from making deviled eggs that a little ground mustard can go a long way....I don't want to overdo it. Thanks so much....this looks great!
It's in the description- here it is Mac N Cheese 1 lb. elbow macaroni 4 cups water 1/2 tsp kosher salt 1 cup heavy cream(or evaporated milk) 2-3 Tbsp unsalted butter 1/4-1/2 tsp dry mustard powder 1/4-1/2tsp black pepper(use white if you have it) 3 -4 cups mixture of cheese cheddar, Monterey jack, Colby, mozzarella ( or you cheese of choice) 1-2 cups cheese to use for on top of Mac n cheese- air crisping or broiling Add macaroni to pot and add 4 cups of water and 1/2 tsp kosher salt. Place pressure cooker lid on, set it to pressure hi for 4 minutes. After the 4 minutes do a quick release. Add butter stir. Let. It. Melt. Add black pepper or white pepper if using , also dry mustard. Then add 3 cups of cheese, in two editions. Stirring after each Sprinkle on top. Of Mac n cheese the 1-2 cups cheese Set Foodi to air crisp and cook for 3-5 minutes until your desired doneness.
I probably would just to be on safe side. If not enough water some of the pasta will be hard. I prefer to strain a bit more water than list all the pasta. But I may have to experiment on doubling pasta to see what happens. Thanks!
You can decrease the recipe with no issues but when cooking the pasta have 2 cups of water- it may seem like a lot but in order for the pasta to cook correctly it is needed. I have tried using less water but the pasta does not cook correctly. Some of the pasta will be very underdone. You can do 6-8 oz. of pasta but it will would serve more than 2 people. I haven't done 4 oz of pasta for Mac n cheese but it can be done. Think I will try this this week 4 oz pasta Mac n cheese.
@@pressurecrisp no pressure, pun intended 😉. I love cheese so that will only get cut back a lil. Water will keep the same. Made beef tips this morning, so tender. Have a great day!!

Nice recipe, I noticed you said 12 ounces of evaporated milk. That is not a cup. A cup is 8 ounces.
Hey thanks for the correction! Nice catch!
Pressure Crisp so it’s 8oz of evaporated milk?
If I cut this in half, should I cut down the cooking time?
Use 2 cups of water. and cooking time is the same. If you try to make a 1/4 recipe you still have to use 2 cups of water as the pasta will not cook correctly. Thanks Gayle alley!
Lisa can you turn the volume up on your microphone as on this video?I can hardly you
This was one of my first videos and didn't really know how to to do anything. I'm not sure if I can fix this but will look into it. Thanks Scottish Lass!

Hi if I’m doing double portions do I use double water? Eg 2lb of pasta so 8 cups? Cook time 5mins
When can i come get a plate?
Can you use half/half?
Yes
Can you use milk instead
I'm sure you could, I have used condense milk and it turned out great.Thanks orangenach24!
Love this recipe! Have you ever done a double batch? And do you know if you double the cook time to 8 mins instead of the 4?
Thanks! I haven't done a double batch but the cook time would probably be the same. Thanks Monroe!

It was early in my RUclips career-lol. Only had the NF for a few months and wasn't thinking outside the box.
You can use a serving dish as long as it is safe in the oven. And only use the serving dish for the broil or AC function. you cannot use most serving dishes using pressure cooking-as it will shatter. Thanks Stephanie!
Really enjoy watching your videos. Quick question on this recipe. The cheese that you use for topping - is it the same mixture that you used for the main ingredients? Cheddar, Colby and Mozzarella?
I used Colby/jack but you can use whatever cheese you like. Thanks!
If I were doing 8 oz of macaroni, would I halve the water amount to 2 cups? One more question--I noticed when I was using the saute function that when I shut the lid, it said "LID". Does it continue to keep it at the same temp, or does it stop cooking at that point and just keep warm?
Yes use 2 cups of water-even if you do a quarter recipe use 2 cups of water.-the pasta wont cook correctly with anything less-i tried it. The saute function will stop cooking. What I use is a cover for a regular pot that I have in my kitchen-you can purchase a glass top from Ninja Kitchen or Kohls.
Thanks Marcy hope this helps.
@@pressurecrisp Thanks so much Lisa, this does really help!
@@SweetPea1964 Your welcome!
When you saute, you dont use either lids. So its telling you to remove the lid. I did this first couple saute mode
How many cups of cheese did this recipe take? I don't want to over do it.
About 3 cups. But you can add more just add and stir/ then taste. And repeat untilyour desired amount of cheese.
Thanks.
@@selflessman You welcome! Thanks for watching!
Could the ingredients be safely doubled in the Foodi?
Thats a good question, I almost jumped off. the couch and went out to kitchen to try this-lol. As long as the 2 pounds of pasta fit and all the water. This brings another question how much water-1 pound of pasta is 4 cups of water-I would assume you would use 8 cups of water.
But when you go to do a quick release it will most likely spark a lot of starch in this case you could place a kitchen towel over the steam vent to catch most of the spray.
Thanks for the question I still may have to try cooking 2 pounds of pasta .. thanks Elaine Bukowsky!
I can't see you fully, or the pot at all. That may change later, but, well.... just sayin'! Thanks for the recipe though.
I should redo this video this was one of my first videos. Will do. another using the Foodi Deluxe. Thanks Kandi!
I keep burning the bottom in the air pressure mode, I’ve done it twice. How do I avoid that?? It cooks the noodles longer than 4 minutes!
How much water are you adding? May have to add a bit more. Did you set the time for 4 minutes then do a quick release?
Hi, going to make this on Sunday. But, I want to cut it in half. Is that doable?
Yes, I'm working on cutting it even further-maybe quarter recipe. Its makes so much. But you can take leftovers and make air crisped Mac n cheese balls or cut them into rectangles-egg and crumb them and air crisp.
@@pressurecrisp Thank you!
@@lindar9604 Your welcome!
Do you have to whip the cream?
No-Its called whipping cream or heavy cream on the container. Thanks Dom723!
Can you tell me the measurement for the mustard? I know from making deviled eggs that a little ground mustard can go a long way....I don't want to overdo it. Thanks so much....this looks great!
1/8-1/4 that is all I use-I don't want to taste it its just there as an undertone supporting flavor/ingredient. thanks Patti!
Where can I find the recipe? Not sure of measurements for ingredients
It's in the description- here it is

@@pressurecrisp So AWESOME & looks Delicious !!! 😋🤤
@@aqueminiqueen7 Thanks Aquarian Goddess!
I can't see the pot you ARE COOKING IN!
Sorry Lew-one of my. earlier videos-thanks!
Do you have to use mustard?
No you don't-and remember you can choose your own cheese too! Thanks phillips7024!
I don’t want to eat one pound of mac, and cheese in one sitting.
Should I use half a pound of macaroni, and two cups of water?
Yes it makes huge amount. Use two cups of water with 1/2 pound/8 oz. pasta. Thanks for watching!
Mac and cheese freezes and heats up very well.
Wow that’s a lot of cheese,very price Mac and cheese was it worth it?
To see my niece and her friend smile and say it was delicious so worth it! Thanks for commenting and watching.
Would you double the water for 2lbs?
I probably would just to be on safe side. If not enough water some of the pasta will be hard. I prefer to strain a bit more water than list all the pasta. But I may have to experiment on doubling pasta to see what happens. Thanks!
Hi Lisa, I'm cooking for 2 what would be your recommendation? Thanks
You can decrease the recipe with no issues but when cooking the pasta have 2 cups of water- it may seem like a lot but in order for the pasta to cook correctly it is needed. I have tried using less water but the pasta does not cook correctly. Some of the pasta will be very underdone. You can do 6-8 oz. of pasta but it will would serve more than 2 people. I haven't done 4 oz of pasta for Mac n cheese but it can be done. Think I will try this this week 4 oz pasta Mac n cheese.
@@pressurecrisp thank you ,if you do try this. That's what's difficult when using a foodi and only cooking for 2. But I love my ninja👍
@@lbbcc197 I'll see what I can do this week but it should work just cutting recipe to 25%. Except for the water to cook the pasta.
@@pressurecrisp no pressure, pun intended 😉. I love cheese so that will only get cut back a lil. Water will keep the same. Made beef tips this morning, so tender. Have a great day!!
