Join the discussionHigh or low on manual?
High! Enjoy!
Can you keep it warm in the IP too? If so, what setting? Slow cook or keep warm?
Susan, we’d suggest “keep warm” for that. However, “slow cook” might also work if you use a low setting, just so you don’t burn the cheese!
When I put on manual for 5 minutes I get an overheating message three minutes in.
That might be worth contacting the manufacturer about.
same here, burned 3 minutes in
Jason, we are so sorry you had burning issues. A few recommendations: try low pressure instead of high pressure, and saute/cook on manual for less time than stated if you are still having issues. Let us know how that goes for you as we would love for you to be able to enjoy this recipe.
It’s going to cook while it’s heating up prior to the timer beginning. I added 2/3 cups of water with my meat and turned on steam. I hit the timer for my food to cook. My meat cooked during the warming process. I added my cheese and rotel. My dip was cooked 1 minute into the set timer.
I would like to make this for 20-25 ppl this Saturday, Would you say double or triple ingredients? And what about cook time?
Hey, Cindy – since the serving size is 4 I would triple (at least) to serve 20-25 people. As for cook time, this post might help you determine https://onceamonthmeals.com/blog/series/instant-pot/instant-pot-tips-tricks-201/. Just for reference, custom serving size is a feature of membership. If you have questions about membership, we’d love to chat with you in the bottom right-hand corner.
This turned out pretty good, Next time I am going to try using chorizo & some jalapeños.
Cheese burnt at bottom of pan any way of getting around that??
Sorry about that! A few recommendations: try low pressure instead of high pressure, and saute on manual for less time than stated if you are still having issues. Let us know how that works!
How much water?
4 Tablespoons.
This is a question.Can I use liners in my multi cooker?And how long can I keep cheese dip in pot? Party for group. Do I put the lid on pot? I’m new at this
Hi Sheila, You should not use liners in your pressure cooker. It gets really hot and could ruin your inner bowl. You should be able to use the keep warm function on your pot for a couple hours, especially if you’re taking this to a party. I would just stir the dip periodically and watch it. It would be good to keep the lid on if you aren’t using it. Hope this helps!
What setting do I put my Insta pot on?
Hi Erika, for this recipe, you would set your Instant Pot to cook on high pressure (some older models also have the manual button which can also be used). I hope this helps.
I cooked this in pressure cooker for the first time yesterday. I used lowest setting and cooked about 5-6 mins. Let the steam out. Stirred
Kept on warm after. No problems.
That kept it from burning? I always get the burn message.
Releasing tiny bursts of concentrated flavor from cinnamon sticks, nutmeg, and citrus rind. More slender and with smaller holes than rasp graters, zesters make hundreds of fine cuts. They’re ideal for lemons and limes, since the tiny holes won’t pick up pith (the bitter white part of the skin). The five- or six-hole ones, called lemon or citrus zesters, are good for making lemon curls for martinis and espresso.
Great tips!
Just used cooker for first time. Easy. Like the idea of slow cook probably best. If doubled like i did i wouldnt double the water all the way. Maybe 3/4 of whats called for. As it cools thickens great. Just the right texture. Looking foward to cooking on it more. Got it for a present and came in broken. The back grip is broke. Cant return but thats ok. Ill deal with it. Nice cooker. Enjoy.
Glad this recipe turned out for you Thomas! Hope your Slow Cooker continues to work for you despite being broken.
Can you steam can cheese dip
Do u just mix all together and cook on pressure cook and for how long

Question.. how do I brown my hamburger meat in the instant pot?
Press the “Sauté” function key.
Select a temperature with the “Adjust” key for “Normal”, “More” or “Less”.
When Instant Pot reaches the given working temperature, it displays “Hot” and you can start sautéing/browning meat.
One full “Sauté” session will run for 30 minutes.
So you’re saying to put the ground beef in their uncooked along with the other ingredients and not drain the grease is that correct?
Hi Pat,
You want to put cooked ground italian sausage along with the other ingredients. Since this is cooked the night before, it would be drained – but you would not want to add it uncooked.
When I let it cook on slow cook how long do I set the timer?
We haven’t let it cook on slow cook in the Instant Pot. A question was asked about using the Instant Pot to keep it warm and we suggested using the keep warm or slow cook feature but we haven’t tested this. We do have a slow cooker version here that you could use. We have only tested and tried this using it as a pressure cooker. Let us know how it goes!
So when cooking ground beef on the insta pot u do t drain the grease
Yes, if you cook ground beef in the Instant Pot, you definitely want to drain the grease.
