Macaroni and Tomatoes – Pressure Cooker

Is there any meal more southern than Mac and Mators? Probably not. We love to enjoy this during our camping trips or just a quick meal in the off seasons at home. Here is my recipe for the pressure cooker.

What you will need:

 

4qt – Pressure Cooker 

2 cups macaroni, uncooked

1 – 14.5 ounce can diced tomatoes (I prefer Hunts)

1 – 14.5 ounce can whole tomatoes in juice ( I prefer Hunts)

4 cups of water 

 

Salt & Pepper to taste

 

 

 

Step one:

In your pressure cooker put your diced tomatoes, whole tomatoes, and water. Stir.

Step Two:

Stir in your macaroni. (You can add salt and pepper here. I prefer to allow the diner to do this to their own taste.)

Step Three:

Close up pressure cooker, set release value to airtight and set to cook 4 minutes under pressure.

Step Four:

When it has stopped cooking allow it to NATURALLY release pressure. If you release the pressure manually, the soup will and tomatoes will come out the release value.

Step five:

Serve (preferably with cornbread) and enjoy!
