You can put everything into the Instant Pot and just cook it all together but it will make it a bit more clumpy. If you want a smoother sauce, be sure to add the cream cheese after everything else has cooked.
Really the taste isn't affected whichever way you decide to do it, it's more just about the texture of the sauce.
