Ingredients

1 16 ounces elbow macaroni
1 tablespoons butter
1 small onion diced
2 cloves garlic minced
6 cups of water
2 cups diced ham
2 cups shredded Swiss cheese
3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup sour cream
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Select the saute feature on your Instant Pot. Add your butter and onion and saute for around 4-5 minutes or until onions are softened. Then toss in your minced garlic. Hit the cancel on saute.
Now add in your macaroni shells, water, ham, and salt. Do not stir.
Place pressure cooker lid on, and ensure the valve is sealed. Select manual or pressure cooker for 6 minutes. Followed by a quick release.
Stir in your sour cream, shredded cheese, and give a good stir. Then top with remaining shredded cheese.
Place the Instant Pot lid on top of the pot, and leave it off. This is going to keep it warm and help soak up the remaining liquid and melt the shredded cheese on top. This takes around 5 minutes.
Remove lid, and then spoon up your homemade macaroni and cheese!
Top with green onions if you would like and add salt and pepper to taste.
