  • 1 pound Elbow Macaroni
  • 1 teaspoon Mustard Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Salt

  • Place the elbow macaroni, ground mustard, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, butter, hot sauce, and water in a 6-quart Instant Pot. Close the lid, making sure the pressure valve is in the “sealing” position.
  • Set the Instant Pot to “manual” and cook for 4 minutes.
  • As soon as the Instant Pot beeps, carefully release the pressure from the pot. Remove the lid and stir the noodles.
