Instructions
Using the sauté setting on your Instant Pot, add the ground beef, salt, and spices to the pot as soon as it’s nicely preheated. Crumble the beef, cooking it fully until no pink remains; drain any excess fats.
Top the ground beef with the garlic and jalapeño, then add the broth. Layer the black beans over the beef, then top the beans with salsa. **Do not stir or combine the ingredients together - leave them layered!
Lock the Instant Pot lid into place; turn the valve to the "sealed" position. Using the manual button, choose High Pressure, setting the timer for 5 minutes time, bringing the Instant Pot to full pressure.
When the timer sounds, use a natural release for 5 minutes, then a quick release if any pressure remains in the Instant Pot.
Unlock and remove the lid; add the cream cheese cubes and shredded cheese, gently stirring the dip until well combined and creamy.
