Ninja Foodi Cheese Dip

NINJA HERB CHEESE DIP

Steps:

• Place Parmesan cheese, garlic, lemon juice, parsley, chives, basil and onion powder in Mini Master Prep Bowl. Secure top and pulse in quick bursts until Parmesan cheese is almost grated. If starting with grated Parmesan cheese, pulse until herbs are finely chopped.
• Remove top and use a spoon to push mixture down, away from the walls of the bowl.
• Add cream cheese, re-secure top and pulse in quick bursts for 15 seconds, until cheese and herbs are well combined.
• Salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
• BOB'S TIPS: Just about any fresh herbs work well in this recipe. Try oregano or thyme in place of the basil or even 2 teaspoons of dried Italian seasoning if you're in a pinch. Low-fat or even fat-free cream cheese works great too for the best low-fat dip around.

NINJA QUESO CHEESE DIP

Steps:

• Place all ingredients in the Mini Master Prep Bowl. Secure the top and pulse 5-7 times until combined, but chunky.
• Carefully remove blades from Mini Master Prep Bowl and microwave dip for 2 minutes, stirring halfway through.
• Serve as a hot dip for tortilla chips.
• BOB'S TIPS: I prefer white American cheese in this recipe, but a one inch slice of a bricked processed cheese like Velvetta melts very well.

NINJA FOODI CHEESE DIP

Steps:

• Turn Ninja Foodi on sauté-hi
• Add chorizo to Ninja Foodi and sauté until fully cooked. Chorizo should be crumbly and browned. Be sure to stir regularly so that the chorizo does not stick to the bottom of the pot. If your chorizo starts to stick to the bottom of the pot, use a plastic spatula to gently scrape it off.
• Add Rotel tomatoes and chilis and stir until combined.
• Add in Velveeta cheese. DO NOT STIR! If you stir after you have added the cheese, the cheese is likely to stick to the bottom of the pot and burn.
• Close pressure cooking lid. Move valve to "seal" position. Pressure cook on high for 1 minute.
• Once the timer beeps, move the valve to the "vent" position and quick release pressure. If liquid starts to come out of the valve, close the valve and let pressure naturally release for 3-5 minutes and then quick release remaining pressure.
• Stir everything together until well combined.
• Serve with your chips, tortillas or veggies. Enjoy!
