Ninja Queso Cheese Dip Food

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!

QUESO (CHEESE) DIP

Steps:

• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Place poblano peppers, Anaheim peppers, and jalapeno pepper, cut-sides down, on the prepared baking sheet.
• Cook peppers under the preheated broiler until the skin of the peppers has blackened and blistered, 5 to 8 minutes. Place the blackened peppers into a bowl and tightly seal with plastic wrap. Allow the peppers to steam as they cool, about 20 minutes. Remove and discard skins; dice peppers.
• Combine diced peppers, cheese food cubes, tomatoes, onion, butter, and cumin in a slow cooker.
• Cook on Low, gradually adding cream, until cheese melts and dip is heated through, about 30 minutes.

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.

QUESO DIP

Steps:

• Put the cilantro, onions and pickled jalapeno if using on a cutting board, and chop them into a rough mixture.
• Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour, and stir until it is absorbed. Pour in the beer and milk; whisk constantly until the mixture comes to a simmer and thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, and stir in the Monterey Jack until completely melted and smooth.
• Transfer the queso dip to a warmed serving dish, a fondue pot or a small slow cooker set to warm or low. Sprinkle the cilantro mixture on top, and sprinkle with a little chipotle powder if using. Serve with tortilla chips.

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.

QUESO

Steps:

• Roughly chop the processed cheese into 1-inch cubes, then add to a medium saucepan. Stir in the tomatoes and their juices, plus 2/3 cup water, then heat over medium-low, stirring frequently, until cheese is melted and mixture is creamy, 5 to 7 minutes. You can stop here, and serve immediately with chips, or proceed to Step 2, if you're feeling extra.
• Stir in any combination of desired additions: black beans, scallions, cilantro, garlic, cumin, red-pepper flakes, oregano, and lime zest and juice. Heat over low, stirring occasionally, until warmed and flavors meld, about 5 minutes. If you like some extra heat, stir in chipotle chiles en adobo. Season to taste with salt, and additional red-pepper flakes, if desired, and serve immediately. (You could also keep your queso in a slow-cooker on a low setting, stirring occasionally, to keep it molten.) Mixture will keep refrigerated for up to 1 week.

ULTIMATE QUESO DIP

Steps:

• Cook sausage in a large pot over medium heat until browned and crumbled, about 5 minutes. Drain off grease and return sausage to the pot. Add Cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes, Cheddar Jack cheese, cream cheese, sour cream, green chiles, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, and red pepper.
• Cook over low heat, stirring often, until queso is well combined and has the right consistency, 5 to 10 minutes. Serve immediately or keep warm in a slow cooker on Low setting for an all-day snack.
