INSTANT POT ® ITALIAN-STYLE SAUSAGE-QUESO DIP

Instant Pot ® Italian-Style Sausage-Queso Dip image

Tired of the same old queso? Change things up next game day by making this one. I came up with this after craving Italian nachos from a restaurant chain I used to frequent while living in a different city. You can also make this recipe on a stove, but you need longer cook times.
