    This Instant Pot Cheeseburger Mac and Cheese Recipe might give you a bit of a flash back of the hamburger helper that many of us used to eat when we were younger, broke, and just didn't know how to cook...but when you add in all of these tasty other ingredients like the lettuce or chopped spinach and tomato, you won't even remember that dancing little potholder!

    I topped mine with chopped spinach because I love spinach, but you can use lettuce as well. Also, I always buy extra lean ground beef so I don't have to drain it from the pan. I just feel like it's a healthier meat overall and also makes it easier when you're making a recipe to not have to drain it. You can certainly use a higher fat content ground beef, but you'll probably want to drain it before continuing to cook it.
