With March Madness in full force I thought it would be a good time to share my Instant Pot Bacon Cheeseburger Dip Recipe.
A creamy dip that holds all the flavors of a bacon cheeseburger and is served with tortilla chips, crackers or even with baguette slices.
This recipe is not only easy to make, but the mild flavor is one that everyone can enjoy. Plus it is low-carb so even those that are on a Keto diet can partake in this delicious appetizer.
Of course, to keep it low-carb it would need to be served with vegetable slices, Keto crackers or Parmesan crisps instead of tortilla chips and crackers.
However, regardless of what it is served with, this dip is one that you will want to make over and over again for your game day or tv watch parties, potlucks and holiday gatherings.
Instant Pot Bacon Cheeseburger Dip Recipe
Ingredients
Bacon
Ground beef
Onion
Water
Worcestershire sauce
Rotel diced tomatoes with green chile peppers
Cream cheese
Monterey Jack cheese
Equipment Required
This recipe has been tested in both my 3 quart Mini and my 6 quart Duo Instant Pots. I personally prefer to make it in my 3 quart so I can save my 6 quart for the main course such as pulled pork, Buffalo chicken sliders or even baby back ribs.
However, either size Instant Pot is okay to use to make this bacon cheeseburger dip.
Instructions
Start by turning the Instant Pot on Saute and wait until the display reads HOT.
Add the bacon pieces and cook until lightly crispy. This should only take a few minutes because of the size of the bacon bits.
Once the bacon is nice and crispy, use a slotted spoon to scoop out the cooked bacon bits and place on a plate lined with a paper towel. Then add the ground beef and diced onion to the hot pot and cook until the meat is browned and no longer pink.
Press Cancel and drain the ground beef and onion mixture and return the mixture to the pot. Now add the bacon bits, water and Worcestershire sauce to the pot and stir.
Then add the can of Rotel and cream cheese and place on top of the ground beef. DO NOT STIR.
I will repeat DO NOT STIR!
The reason behind not stirring is that both the tomatoes and cream cheese will burn on the bottom of the pot during the cooking process. However, when placed on top of the meat you will have no worry of receiving the dreaded BURN notice.
Lock the lid in place and move the valve to the SEALING position. Then press Pressure Cook/Manual on HIGH pressure for 4 minutes.
When the cook timer is up quick release the pressure by moving the valve to the VENTING position. Carefully open the pot and stir.
Next, add the Monterey-Jack cheese to the Instant Pot and stir the bacon cheeseburger dip until everything is well combined.
Allow the pot to continue to be on the KEEP WARM setting until ready to be served. Serve right out of the pot or transfer the dip into a serving bowl and serve with tortilla chips, toasted baguettes or crackers.
Unless of course you are keeping it completely low-carb. If so, serve with Keto crackers, vegetable slices, or Parmesan crisps.
Enjoy!
