HOMEMADE WHITE QUESO DIP RECIPES

Steps:

• Stovetop method: Bring 1-inch of water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce the heat to medium-low and place a bowl inside the pot to create a double boiler. (The bowl should be big enough to rest above the rim of the pot without the bottom touching the water.) Add both cheeses, the half-and-half, garlic, jalapeño and ground black pepper and stir to combine. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the dip is creamy. Stir in the green chilies.  Slow-cooker method: In the base of a slow-cooker, combine both cheeses, the half-and-half, garlic, jalapeño and ground black pepper and stir to combine. Cover and cook on high for 50 minutes, stirring once half-way through. Stir in the green chilies. Transfer to a serving bowl or reduce the temperature of the slow-cooker to warm and keep covered until ready to serve. Top with diced tomatoes, cilantro, and sliced jalapeño. Serve immediately.
  

Steps:

• Put peeled and quartered apples in the Instant Pot. Add all remaining ingredients, then secure the lid, making sure the vent is closed.
• Using the display panel select the MANUAL or PRESSURE COOK function*. Use the +/- keys and program the Instant Pot for 3 minutes.
• When the time is up, let the pressure naturally release for 15 minutes, then quick-release the remaining pressure.
• Use a slotted spoon to transfer cooked apples to a large-capacity blender or food processor.
• Process until smooth and uniform. Add additional pot juices 1/4 cup at a time to achieve desired consistency.
• Serve warm or cold with additional cinnamon and/or cinnamon sticks for garnish.
