Ingredients
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup chopped red onion
- 2 Jalapeno peppers seeded and chopped remove the seeds and membranes to reduce their heat.
- 1 10oz can tomatoes with green chiles (with juice)
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 cups Monterey jack cheese
Instructions
- Place the butter in a 6-8 quart Instant Pot and use the “Saute” function to melt the butter.
- Add the red onion and jalapeno peppers and cook for 2-3 minutes or until tender.
- Add the entire can of tomatoes with chiles (including the juice) to the Instant Pot, then place the cream cheese and seasonings on top.
- Place the lid on the Instant Pot, move the valve to the “sealing” position, and set Pressure Cook for 1 minute.
- When the timer goes off, switch the valve to the release position for quick release.
- Stir the onions, peppers, tomatoes, cream cheese, and seasoning together until well mixed.
- Add the heavy cream, cheddar, and Monterey Jack cheeses and stir until completely melted and smooth. Check the seasonings and adjust them to taste if necessary.
- Transfer to a bowl and serve hot with desired toppings and your favorite dippers.
- Enjoy your delicious Instant Pot Queso!
Notes
- Adjusting the Consistency: If the dip is too thick add a little water, salsa, or some vegetable or chicken broth. Stir after each addition until the desired consistency is reached. If queso is too thin create a slurry by mixing a tablespoon of cornstarch with an equal amount of water and stir it into your queso.
- Avoid Over-Cooking: This may cause the cheese to separate and become grainy.
- Stir Frequently: This ensures even melting and prevents your cheeses from sticking to the bottom.
- Grate Your Cheese: Use freshly shredded cheese for best results as pre-shredded cheese contains additives that prevent proper melting.
- Adjust Spiciness: If the queso is too spicy add a teaspoon of sugar or more shredded cheese along with some heavy cream.
