Keto Instant Pot or Slow Cooker Chili Queso Dip-

Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 2 ½ tablespoons canned diced green chilies
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 ½ cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
  • 6 tablespoons sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream

Instant Pot Directions:

  1. You will need a 6 x 3-inch ovenproof round dish (Pyrex or ceramic) that fits inside your Instant Pot inner pot.
  2. Pour 1 cup of water into the Instant Pot inner pot.
  3. Place all ingredients into the ovenproof dish and cover tightly with foil to prevent water from getting into the dip.
  4. Set the dish on the steamer rack and carefully lower it into the Instant Pot.
  5. Close and lock the lid. Set the pressure release to Sealing, select Pressure Cook (Manual) on High, and set the timer for 19 minutes.
  6. When the cook time finishes, use Quick Release to release the pressure.
  7. Wear oven mitts to lift the rack and remove the dish. Discard the foil and whisk the dip immediately until smooth and creamy.
  8. Serve warm with mini grilled chicken kabobs, celery sticks, mini bell peppers, crisp pepperoni chips, salami, low-carb chips or crackers.

Slow Cooker Directions:

  1. Add all ingredients to a slow cooker and stir to combine.
  2. Cover and cook on Low for 2½ to 3 hours. Uncover and whisk well until smooth—an immersion blender can help remove any lumps.
  3. Switch the slow cooker to Warm to keep the dip at serving temperature.
  4. Serve with celery, mini pepper sticks, crisped pepperoni slices, salami, low-carb chips, crackers, or mini chicken kabobs.
