INSTANT POT® PHILLY CHEESESTEAK PASTA
Pasta topped with a silky cheese sauce and all the goodness of Philly cheesesteak toppings. Pay attention to the thickness of the sirloin--you'll want it thinner than skirt steak (I buy mine at Aldi). You'll want to go to the deli to get the cheese--I buy mine in a small thick-cut 1/2-lb piece and shred it at home.

Steps:
- Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Add 1 tablespoon butter, olive oil, bell pepper blend, and beef; saute until beef is browned, about 5 minutes. Pour in broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
- Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 8 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
- Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook bow-tie pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain pasta.
- Melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a saucepan. Add flour, stirring to create a paste. Pour in milk, stirring constantly to keep from scorching. Allow sauce to thicken slightly. Add shredded American cheese and stir until well combined. Season cheese sauce with salt and pepper.
- Release any remaining pressure using the quick-release method. Unlock and remove the lid. Add sliced mushrooms, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, seasoned salt, and pepper. Adjust seasonings to taste. Serve beef mixture on top of the cooked farfalle, and top with the cheese sauce.

BEST ONE POT CHEESE AND MACARONI
This recipe uses less milk and no thickener what-so-ever! Very cheesy, too! You can either serve it from the pot, or top with buttered crumbs and put in 350 oven to brown for half an hour, but we like ours fine without.

Steps:
- Pour water and salt into a medium pot and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the shell pasta, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the water has cooked down a bit, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the milk, and continue boiling for another 5 minutes. Add the Cheddar, Parmesan, pepper, and mustard; stir until the cheese melts and the sauce is thick and creamy. The starch from the pasta thickens the sauce as the pasta cooks.

Tips:
- Use a large pot: This will give the pasta plenty of room to cook and prevent it from sticking together.
- Season the water: Add a generous amount of salt to the water before cooking the pasta. This will help to flavor the pasta and prevent it from tasting bland.
- Cook the pasta al dente: This means cooking it until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and unpleasant to eat.
- Reserve some of the pasta water: Before draining the pasta, reserve about 1/2 cup of the pasta water. This can be used to thin out the sauce or to add creaminess to the dish.
- Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the most important ingredients in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that melts well. Some good options include cheddar, mozzarella, Parmesan, or a combination of cheeses.
- Don't overcrowd the pot: When adding the pasta and cheese to the pot, don't overcrowd it. This will prevent the pasta from cooking evenly and the cheese from melting smoothly.
- Stir constantly: Stir the pasta and cheese constantly while cooking. This will help to prevent the pasta from sticking together and the cheese from burning.
Conclusion:
This one-pot cheese and pasta dish is a quick and easy meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. It is also a great way to use up leftover pasta. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
