We love to serve this dip with mini grilled chicken kabobs (a couple of small pieces of chopped grilled chicken breast tenders on a toothpick).
Also very excellent served with low carb salami or baked crisp pepperoni chips (just bake pepperoni slices on a baking sheet in the oven at 400F for a few minutes until crisp).
This creamy dip is also good served with low carb celery sticks.
This recipe is easy to make in your Instant Pot® or in a Small Slow Cooker.
A warm, creamy, cheesy, addictive dip with a little bit of spice that is perfect for an appetizer or low-carb snack.

Instant Pot Directions:
- You will need a 6 x 3-inch round ovenproof bowl or baking souffle dish (Pyrex or ceramic) that fits in the inner pot of the Instant Pot.
- Add 1 cup water to the inner pot of the Instant Pot.
- To the ovenproof dish add all the ingredients and cover the top of the dish with a sheet of tin foil to keep the water out of the dip.
- Place the covered dish on top of the steamer rack. Grasping the rack handles, lower the rack with the bowl into the Instant Pot.

- Once cooking time is complete, carefully use the Quick Release method to release all the pressure.
- Once pressure is released, carefully grasp rack handles with oven mitts and lift to remove the baking dish from the pot. Remove the aluminum foil and immediately whisk the dip thoroughly until smooth.

I'm wondering if this would be better made with white American cheese – hand shredded. You can buy it at any deli and ask them to cut you a chunk, so it will be easy to shred. A lot of Mexican restaurants use white American cheese because it melts perfectly. Pre-shredded cheese has extra wax and additives in it that tend to not work as well for dips or sauces.
I can't wait to make this!
Stacey
Yes, I like to experiment with different cheeses.
Kaara King
It’s so good!! Do you think I could use the microwave to heat everything together instead? I’m just impatient and don’t want to break out my instant pot... but if I have to, it’s worth it lol 😆
Stacey
I have not tried the microwave, but I'm sure it can be done as long as you use the melt cycle or use short times then stir and heat again for short bursts.
Kerri
I make something similar, but has about 4ounces (125g) cream cheese in it. I use my non-genuine thermometer knock off, and it is ready in 15 minutes.

Catherine Baez Sholl
Ooooh, this looks delicious! I definitely think it'll taste much better with salami or pepperoni chips than with crackers. I'm also a little obsessed with sweet peppers, so this recipe is a must try with those for the next party. Thanks for providing so many options to go with the dip!
Stacey
Thank you so much, Catherine 🙂
