Ninja Foodi Spicy Sausage Queso Dip

A traditional Queso Dip is made with a blend of cow and goat’s milk. Today, we used Velveta, which I have never used until I purchased my first Instant Pot. It does amazing in the Instant Pot.

I also used a spicy sausage to give this dip some kick, the one I used was called Hot Sausage, but if you prefer a milder sausage, use that.

I also used Ro-tel, which is found in the canned tomatoes aisle or the Mexican food section in your grocery store if you are not familiar. Ro-tel comes in a number of different spices since I knew I was going for a spicy version, I went with a Fire-Roasted one.
