Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 15 minutes Servings: 6-8
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pound ground beef (or turkey for a healthier option)
- 1 (15-ounce) can chili beans, undrained
- 1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 (10-ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chilies (Rotel), undrained
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- Tortilla chips or vegetables for serving
Instructions:
- Sauté: Set your Instant Pot to the "Sauté" function. Add olive oil, onion, and garlic. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Brown the Meat: Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned.
- Add Remaining Ingredients: Stir in chili beans, diced tomatoes, Rotel, chili powder, cumin, and cayenne pepper (if using).
- Pressure Cook: Close the lid and set the valve to "Sealing." Cook on high pressure for 5 minutes, then allow for a natural pressure release for 10 minutes before carefully quick releasing any remaining pressure.
- Stir in Cheese and Sour Cream: Stir in cheddar cheese and sour cream until melted and smooth.
- Serve: Serve hot with tortilla chips, celery sticks, or carrot sticks.
Tips and Variations:
- For a vegetarian option, substitute the ground beef with 1 cup of lentils or black beans.
- Add a can of corn for extra sweetness and texture.
- Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to control the spice level. Start small and add more to taste!
- Make it ahead! This dip tastes even better the next day.
