- 1 teaspoon dry mustard

- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1/4 teaspoon salt

- 2 cups Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded
Instructions
- Place the dry pasta, butter, dry mustard, ground pepper, garlic salt, salt, and water into your pot.
- Put lid on top and securely close. Make sure valve at top is on "sealed".
- Press manual, high, and set timer for 4 minutes.
- Once cooking time is complete, do a quick release and allow the pin to drop on its own.
- Open the lid carefully and add the evaporated milk, cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, and Parmesan cheese.
- Stir until melted and serve!
Notes
*You may want to place a towel over the valve when doing a quick release to avoid any liquids from making a mess as pressure is releasing.
