INGREDIENTS | SERVES 12

2 tablespoons butter, or vegan margarine

2 tablespoons flour

1 cup milk, or vegan soymilk

8 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese, or vegan Cheddar such as Daiya Chedder Style Shreds

8 ounces shredded Colby cheese, or more vegan Cheddar

  • In the pressure cooker, soften butter over medium-high heat and gradually add flour until you have a paste. Add milk and stir until it has thickened and there are no lumps. Bring the mixture to a boil.

  • Add the cheeses and stir until smooth. Add the tomatoes and jalapeños and secure the lid on the pressure cooker. Cook on medium until the pressure-indicator rises. Lower heat and cook for 3 minutes. Allow the pressure to release and remove the lid. Add the lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
