Ingredients

• lean ground beef
• unsalted butter
• cornstarch
• onion
• jalapeno
• garlic
• chili powder
• ground cumin
• evaporated milk
• Rotel
• salt
• black pepper
• fiesta blend cheese

Variations 

Now you can make this a sausage queso dip, just swap the ground beef with sausage. Or you can do 1 pound sausage and 1 pound ground beef. If you want a spicy queso dip, all you need to do is ramp up the spice in the dish or reach for a hot spicy sausage. 

Add more spice...

• Add in diced jalapenos that have the seeds - adjust to your liking. 
• Sprinkle in some of your favorite hot sauce to ramp up the spice of this taco queso dip. 
• Add in a hot Rotel instead of mild or original. This will give a lot of heat with a simple swap of ingredients. 
• Use spicy sausage to replace ground beef

The Cheese

I used a Fiesta blend cheese that will bring tons of flavor to this cheese dip. If you wanted to use Velveeta you would need to stir it in once the dip is cooked to prevent the burn notice.

Feel free to make it a Velveeta queso dip with ground beef instead of using the evaporated milk and the shredded cheese as you see in this Instant Pot Rotel dip. 

How to Store

To store your dip you will transfer to an airtight container. The dip will store for around 3 days or so in the fridge. Then when you want just reheat in the microwave or even eat the dip cold. It will be a lot thicker once it chills. So if you feel when you are reheating and it is too thick, you can add in a splash of milk to help thin it up. 

This has easily become one of the best instant pot dips I have made so far. A fun party dip that gives you that restaurant style queso dip at home.

FAQs:

• Can my dog eat some Queso with Ground Beef? This is not the ideal one to share with your dog. Mainly because of the garlic and the amount of salt and strong seasonings it brings, all of these are harmful to your pet's health. Also, cheese may dislike him, as most dogs are lactose intolerant.
• Can my cat eat some Queso with Ground Beef? Due to the ingredients included in this recipe, it is not recommended that you share it with your cat. Most felines are lactose intolerant, so all this cheese can dislike them.
