Classic comfort food in less than one hour with no boiling of the noodles.

This recipe has been converted to be cooked in the Instant Pot, so no need to boil the noodles.

MILK AND CHEESE SHOULD NOT BE ADDED UNTIL AFTER THE PRESSURE COOKING IS FINISHED.

After the pressure cooking, there should be less water left.  Adding the cheese leaves it with a nice thickened consistency. The original recipe only used one cup of cheese, but I like to add another.  That might help the casserole thicken up more.

The original recipe did not include Cream of Mushroom Soup or Sweet Peas. I added those as it makes it more tasty and colorful.
