Ingredients

  • 1 pound bulk country sausage
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 large jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle light beer
  • 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chiles
  • 2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
  • 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Directions

Step 1
Crumble sausage in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Drain excess grease.

Step 2
Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Add olive oil, onion, and jalapeno; cook for 3 minutes. Add chili powder and cumin and cook for 2 minutes more. Stir in sausage, beer, and tomatoes. Close and lock the lid. Select Manual; set timer for 5 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.

Step 3
Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Carefully release remain pressure manually. Remove the lid. Add Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses; whisk vigorously until melted. Serve immediately.

Cook’s Note:

If you are not serving immediately, you can use the Keep Warm setting, but you will need to stir every 20 minutes to keep the cheese from clumping.
