What’s In Chili Cheese Dip?

The classic chili cheese dip only has three ingredients but I prefer more flavor in my dips. The ingredients for this dip are simple but add a lot of flavor and is easy to make in the Instant Pot.

• Two cans of Chili No Beans (Hormel brand or other)
• Jarred diced jalapenos – you can use fresh jalapenos if you wish. The jarred variety are a bit softer and releases more flavor.
• Chili powder
• Cumin
• Paprika
• Water
• Velveeta- sliced or cubed
• Shredded miild cheddar cheese – for mixing into the dip itself and some for topping when serving or broiling.
• Milk

Instant Pot Chili Cheese Dip Directions

Layer the ingredients- Dump the two cans of Chili with no beans into the inner liner of the Instant Pot. Sprinkle the chili with chili powder, cumin, and paprika. If using, top with the diced jalapenos. Top the ingredients off with the water but do not stir.

Pressure cook- Close the lid and set to MANUAL/PRESSURE COOK for 3 minutes.

Quick Release- Carefully Perform a QR (Quick Release) to manually release the pressure. Keep face away from the steam.

Saute and add the cheese- Open the lid and set the pot to saute. Stir in the Velveeta cheese and 1 cup of mild cheddar cheese. Press cancel and serve.

Broil- If desired, add the additional cheese to the top of the dip and broil the Chili Cheese Dip using the Broil setting using the Instant Pot Air Fryer Lid for about 3-5 minutes.

Or, transfer the chili cheese dip to an oven-safe dish or skillet, top with the additional cheese, and broil for 3-5 minutes before serving for a crispy top to your chili cheese dip. Keep an eye on the dish while broiling to prevent the cheese from burning.

Serve- Serve with additional shredded cheese, jalapenos, and Frito scoops. Tortilla chips are also a good option as a dipper.

Broil with the Air Fryer Lid

If you want to broil this cheese dip to give it a crust, you can transfer it to an oven-safe dish such as a casserole dish or a cast-iron skillet and broil it for a few minutes until the cheese is hot and bubbly.

When serving, simply remove the inner liner from the Instant Pot and serve.

If you happen to have an Instant Pot Air Fryer Lid, you can either sprinkle the cheese on top of the dip and then place the air fryer lid on top of the Instant Pot and set the lid to Broil for three to five minutes or you can transfer the chili cheese dip to an oven-safe/pressure cooker safe bowl and then lower it into the Instant Pot and broil it that way.

This will allow you to remove the dish from the Instant Pot and serve it in a serving dish for easier dipping and serving.
