15 Instant Pot Dips That Will Seriously Up Your Potluck Game
When I dip, you dip, we dip.
When in doubt, the majority of Team Delish can likely always be found wherever the party dips are. And if those same dips are coming out fresh from the Instant Pot? We're absolutely going to be getting very friendly with that all-star small kitchen appliance. After all, it's a truth universally acknowledged: Whoever brings the dip to the potluck is instantly the party MVP. It's always a good time to make that potluck or tailgate party go even more smoothly, which the Instant Pot is absolutely capable of doing. Whether it's spinach and artichoke or buffalo chicken, no one will need to know that you cut your cooking time in half by making all of these 15 easy dip recipes in the Instant Pot.
Did you know? Your Instant Pot also can doubles as a slow cooker too, meaning you can take tons of your favorite slow cooker dips and pop them right in the Instant Pot. Depending on what Instant Pot model you have, there's a "Slow Cooker" function you can simply press and adjust to "normal," "more," or "less" on your Instant Pot (which are the equivalent to a slow-cooker's "medium," "high," and "low" settings) and use as you might a slow cooker. From there, you can make your standby Crockpot Buffalo chicken dip and slow cooker queso without having too many appliances cluttering your counter.
Need a dip ASAP? Let the Instant Pot do what it does best: pressure cooking things ultra-fast. Our recipes for Instant Pot street corn queso, jalapeño popper dip, and black bean dip all come together (prep and cook time included) in 40 minutes or less. It's seriously the most delicious magic trick ever.

As for serving, we LOVE this dip with Ritz crackers, but slices of French bread or pita chips would also be delicious.

Slow-Cooker Bolognese
Bolognese is one of our favorite recipes to make during the winter: It instantly warms you up and makes you feel sooo cozy.

Slow-Cooker Queso
It just isn't a party without queso, TBH, and this recipe works just as well in an Instant Pot (under that handy "Slow Cook" setting). Either way, don't skimp on the cilantro; it lightens up the dip just a bit and adds a refreshing, herbal note.
