The Mighty Mouse of the kitchen.

Do you remember when Mighty Mouse would suddenly show up with his cape flying and say "Here I am to save the day!" ?

Well I do and tonight my Instant Pot made me think of good old Might Mouse.  It was a busy day, I had no plans for dinner and I really hate when that happens.  Another thing I hate is when I have food in the fridge that needs to be used before it goes bad and I have no idea what to do with it.

Tonight I grabbed some of the things I had in the fridge and headed over to my Instant Pot.

I had some fresh broccoli, pasta, assorted cheeses, sour cream, cream cheese and my husband's favorite - those Little Smokies sausages.

 I put the Little Smokies in the pot a covered them with pasta to about 1/2 way up the pot.  Then I covered it all with water until you could just see the water almost to the top of the pasta. I closed the pot and set manual pressure for 3 minutes.

While the pot was cooking I chopped and grated the cheese.  I had some Swiss, Cheddar, Velveeta and Colby. 

I stopped when I grated a little more than cheese!

After 3 minutes were up and the pot was done I let it natural release for about 3 more minutes.  Then I manually released the pressure.  I added all the cheese and slowly mixed it in.  It was very thick so then I mixed Sour Cream and some Cream Cheese to loosen it up a bit.

It turned out thick and yummy and cheesy with those awesome Little Smokies mixed it.  The entire meal took about 20 minutes.

So I feel like my Instant Pot really is like Might Mouse.  I can almost here it call out....
