I had just bought a new pressure cooker and wanted something easy to test it. So I seen a couple different recipes from a book I ordered on my kindle. I actually hated Mac and cheese sense I lived on it for yrs when I was fairly poor. But it was a simple recipe (it didn't call for meat I added that for my own taste and first couple times I used hamburger). I accidentally got ingredients from 2 different recipes in the book though and it was the best Mac and cheese I ever ate. I used to make Wimpy burgers that was similar to this using just Velveeta and hamburger. Hence the name Wimpy Mac

How to Make Wimpy Mac

Step-by-Step

I use a pressure cooker. Put noodles all vegetables water, better than broth, butter and parmesan cheese in pressure cooker. Close lid. Cook high pressure for 6 mins.
While pressure cooker is doing it's thing fry the sausage and crumble small. Drain
Shred or slice cheese very thin (or buy shredded)
When pressure cooker is done do a quick release. Add the meat and cheese stir it in until cheese has melted. Let set for about 5 to 10 minutes (it will thicken up)
If you do not have a pressure cooker do the noodles and everything in step one on the stove. Boil the water and broth before adding the noodles and vegetables ( also add an extra cup of water). After noodles are done drain most of the liquid but leave some. Then add ur cooked meat and cheese. Oh wait on the parmesan cheese too till after draining water.
