My family and I love to eat out at Chili's. We love the food, and we especially love the chips with skillet queso (okay, truthfully I especially love the Presidente margaritas!). So I had been on the lookout for a recipe for skillet queso that tastes just like the one we enjoy at the restaurant. And ta-da! I found one, adjusted it a bit, and today I am sharing my recipe for Copycat Chili's Skillet Queso with you!
Copycat Chili's Skillet Queso
It really doesn't get much easier than this!
It starts with the creamy goodness of a small block of Velveeta cheese. We slice it into cubes for easier melting.
Then you add the other 7 ingredients to the saucepan and stir until smooth and bubbly. Seriously- it's easy enough that my kids can make it and serve the family as we watch football together on a weekend afternoon!
