Chili’s is one of my favorite restaurants. If I have to pick a place to go it’s always Chili’s mainly because I’m obsessed with their Skillet Queso Dip. So. Freaking. Good. I was playing around on Pinterest (what’s new??), when I came across a Chili’s Skillet Queso Dip copycat recipe, it took all I had not to immediately get in the car to pick up the ingredients. And I’ll be completely honest here. I did not win that battle. Within an hour I was on my way to the store to pick up the ingredients.
And o.m.g. this copy cat recipe was spot on, even with the change I made. YUM. The only thing I felt that was off was the color! But does the color really matter when the taste is so good? I think not!
Ingredients
Directions
- Cut the Velveeta into cubes
- Combine the cheese with the remaining ingredients in a medium sauce pan over medium heat.
- Stir constantly until the cheese melts and all ingredients have been incorporated. Reduce heat to low and let simmer for 20 minutes.
- Serve with Tortilla Chips for dipping
- Enjoy!!
Let me know if you try it! And what you think 🙂
YUM!!!
If there were a vegetarian version that substituted out the Velveeta for another cheese, I’d be right there. It does look tasty.
I don’t think Velveeta is actually cheese 🙂
LMAO this is VERY true. If it’s not melted I won’t touch it but when I was little I used to like slices of it, just thinking about it makes me pukey now!
Looks yummy
I love queso, and I eat at Chili’s often, but I don’t think I have ever had theirs. I will have to try this sometime! (And of course then have it at Chili’s to compare.)
YUM, YUM, YUM! Do I need to say more??!!
Such a simple recipe i bet even i can cook this one. I just showed my kids and now they want me to make this tonight.
What happened to the recipe?? it disappeared! can someone post it please!!
It’s back now! I had to remove the plugin briefly!
i love Chili’s dip. I am going to try your recipe.
I would not add as much milk. Kept adding more spices because milk made it to creamy and mild.
You need to let it thicken. It came out perfectly for me!
You mentioned that you made a change. What change did you make to the recipe? Skillet Queso is one of my favorites. I found a copycat of their honey mustard recipe and love it.
oh man, I can’t remember exactly what I changed. But I do know the recipe is spot on.
Thanks for the recipe – I do love their queso too, and with football season coming up … well, we need things to dip chips in!
P.S. At the risk of comment spam, I had to write one more thing – NICE job on how you have the “printable” version formatted! Your blog has the best-programmed “print this recipe” I’ve ever seen! (and I print a LOT of recipes)
Now I’ll leave you alone 🙂
LMAO I got these all at BlogHer and I was cracking up reading them! DON’T LEAVE ME ALONE!
That made me giggle last night when I was falling asleep looking at Misty May-Treanor’s bottom. Thanks for that!
And now I’m jealous you were at BlogHer! But if there’s any place that’s fun to get comments on your blog, it’s probably BlogHer 🙂
I was also looking at her bottom last night! That is one popular blog post. And now I’m never buying Old Navy/Gap jeans again. I own a pair of the divas! I didn’t even try them on again, I just donated them.
BlogHer is always a blast! Come to Chicago!!
What if instead of Velveeta, make a Cheddar-Beer cheese dip and include the other ingredients listed? Can’t stand Velveeta.
I make this all the time but I just use the chili, velveeta, some minced jalapeño and some sliced green onion. You melt the cheese and add the chili and veggies and just heat thru. Simple and quick and soooo good!
Oh we love this at Chili’s! I am going to have to make this one at home for us! Oh so excited!!!!!
I tried this and used the microwave instead of the using the stove. It turned out great!
My partner is in love with chilli's skillet queso and seeing this recipe on pinterest made my day… Im on my way to get the ingredients to make it for him right now …"hmm maybe now i can get those pair of boots that i been asking for" … Oh how i love pinterest… <3 O:-)
LOL!
I hope you get those boots 🙂
That looks so yummy! I am obsessed with that dip. I might have to go to the store tonight lol
Made this for a family gathering. It was a hit! Taste's just like Chili's. I bought Juanita's tortilla chips (Winco has them). They were a perfect companion!
I would like to know how many people this will serve.. I need to make enough to serve 10 people. is this a big enough batch or do I need to double it. Also can I cook this in a crock pot?
Darcy, it fed at least 20 people, but we had other appetizers as well. I made mine in the crockpot. It was easy-peasy!
I’m feeling a little chubby, I think I can finish the whole thing in one sitting by myself LOL

I would double the recipe for sure.
I made this tonight for the Super Bowl. Loved it. I have made this before but never with the spices and I think that is what makes this soooo excellent. I added some leftover hamburger to mine as well and just cooked it in my baby crockpot. Thank you for posting this.
I bet the left over hamburger meat made it delicious!
WONDERFUL! just had the chilis queso for the first time last week, and stumbled upon this recipe on pinterest. Just finishing up making it for the first time. Easy!
