Tired of the same old queso? Change things up next game day by making this one. I came up with this after craving Italian nachos from a restaurant chain I used to frequent while living in a different city. You can also make this recipe on a stove, but you need longer cook times.

Ingredients

1 pound hot Italian sausage (such as Johnsonville®)
1 small onion, chopped
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (3.8 ounce) can sliced black olives, drained
¼ cup mild pickled banana peppers, diced
12 ounces whole milk, or more as needed
4 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Directions

Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot) and select Saute function. Crumble sausage into the pot and cook for 3 minutes. Add onion and cook until sausage is browned and onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, olives, and banana peppers. Stir to combine. Pour in milk and cook, stirring often, until heated through but without boiling, about 5 minutes.
Add Monterey Jack cheese and whisk continually until completely melted and smooth, about 5 minutes.

Cook's Note:

Add more milk if you like your queso thinner.
