Cheeseburger Mac

2 Tbs butter
1 lb ground beef
1 1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 c ketchup
1/2 tbs yellow mustard
1 tbs red wine vinegar
1 lb pasta (I used large macaroni noodles)
4 c water
1 heaping tsp kosher salt
3 c freshly shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 c half and half


Melt butter in Instant Pot on sauté setting, then add ground beef and cook, stirring and breaking up into little pieces until fully cooked.  Turn off heat and add the onion and garlic powder, mustard, ketchup, and red wine vinegar.  Stir to combine.

Add dry pasta and combine.  Add water and salt, stir trying to keep the pasta under the water as well as possible.  Use the manual setting to cook for 5 minutes.  When done, quick release the pressure cooker.  Remove the lid and turn off the power.  Add the shredded cheese and half & half.  Stir until smooth.  Lightly cover and let sit for 3 minutes.  Season to taste.
