Ingredients
  • 2 lb. pork tenderloin, sliced, cut into pieces (4 inch thick)
  • 1 cup chipotle BBQ sauce
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 ½ cup low sodium chicken stock
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • ½ tsp. black pepper
  • 1 lb. macaroni
  • 6 cups water
  • ½ oz. butter
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups cheddar cheese, grated
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese, grated
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 pinch nutmeg
  • ½ tsp. paprika
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
Instructions
  • Add the pork tenderloin, chipotle BBQ sauce, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, chicken stock, salt, and pepper to the inner pot. Secure the lid for pressure cooking. Select Pressure Cook, High and set the time to 40 minutes. Select Start.
  • When the cooking program ends, select Cancel and leave for natural release. Once the pressure has fully released, open the lid. Remove the pork from inner pot. Pull apart the meat with two forks. Mix the pork with the remaining sauce from the pot or with additional BBQ sauce. Transfer to a dish and cover to keep warm.
  • Clean the inner pot once it’s cooled. Add water and macaroni to the pot. Stir and secure lid for pressure cooking.
  • Select Pressure Cook, High and set time to 1 minute. Select Start.
  • Once the cooking program ends, allow for 5 minute natural release. Then quick release remaining pressure. Select Cancel. Rinse pasta with cold water in a strainer and set aside.
  • In a saucepan, warm the milk. Select Sauté-Low. Select Start.
  • Add the butter in the inner pot. When butter starts to sizzle (before it turns brown), add flour. Whisk butter and flour together. Cook for a few minutes. Before the flour browns, add milk and continuously whisk to prevent lumps from forming. Add nutmeg, paprika, salt and pepper, and cook for 3 minutes. Add cheese and stir.
  • Once the cheese has melted, add your pasta and mix. Select Cancel. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
  • TIP: If you want to further reduce the remaining sauce that forms once you’ve cooked your pork, Select Sauté on Low. Select Start. Let the sauce simmer until it’s reduced to your desired thickness.
