Copycat Chili’s Queso Dip Recipe
on Oct 20, 2014, Updated Oct 21, 2020
If you are looking for a totally tasty Queso Dip to serve up this CopyCat Chili’s Queso Dip Recipe is going to be perfect. My hubby and kiddos are always snacking on tortilla chips (their favorite chip for sure!) but wanting me to purchase jarred queso that just never tastes very good to me. When we head out to eat I like to order up the chips and Queso especially when we head to Chili’s to eat. Since we are a large family we usually can not afford to eat at Chili’s very often. By the time everyone orders a meal and we order up our favorite appetizer the bill is crazy expensive. I have shared MANY CopyCat Recipes that we have made. CopyCat Recipes always save us big $$’s. Making our own homemade versions allows for the whole gang to enjoy.

Can we melt the velveeta cheese in a microwave first? I only ask as we use a crockpot to make a large batch and it takes hours for the cheese to properly melt, even on high and were wondering what would change if we did that instead. Otherwise, amazing recipe! We absolutely love it though we do feel it’s a little too thin when we use the full amount of milk listed.
My husband LOVES this dip! I am so glad I found the recipe!!!!
