My little boy is CRAZY about Chili's Queso...he wants to eat there ALL. THE. TIME because of it. Can't wait to try this!!
ReplyDeletei cant wait to try this!
ReplyDeleteYUM!!! Josh and I used to go to Chili's all the time when we were dating (14 yrs ago- wow!) and ALWAYS got this. I will definitely be making it soon. Thanks for linking it up to my Pity Party! xo
ReplyDeleteJust tonight we were saying we should make some queso dip....looks like it was a good idea.
ReplyDeleteI made this with my boys this weekend. Since the boys helped, We enjoyed the process as much as we did the dip.
ReplyDeleteI blogged about our experience in this here post :)

ReplyDeleteWould this work as a crockpot recipe? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi,
DeleteI am sure you could put all the ingredients in your crock pot and cook on low for 2-3 hours and it would work just fine!
i made this and it was very very good. however i changed a few things and eyeballed alot. but instead of hormel, i used ground beef seasoned with quite a few things, all mexican. i used 12 ounces velveta, 3/4 cans of rotel tomatos to give it some tomato bits( i dont like salsa.. wierd right? or else i would have added a little bit of that), a splash of milk and all the spices you mentioned, just less. it was the bomb! way better than chili's. thank you so much for the great idea! even though i didnt make it exactly how you did, im so happy! the cheese was the perfect texture and stayed the right consistency as it cooled down. thanks so much for posting this! my husband says its one of the best things he's had.. so I guess I will be cooking this until im 99 years old and bed ridden. :)
ReplyDeletei work at chills and i know that the chilis queso has beef in it and it has refried beans in it, so maybe if you build upon the recipe u posted and then add refried beans and beef, then it would be more close
ReplyDeleteI followed exactly but used Hormel WITH beans not without! I'm not quite sure why this recipie calls for the kind without beans as Chili's queso DOES have beans in it !
ReplyDeletei made this and it tasted the exact same as our chills queso (i work at chilis) the only problem was is that i had to dump the 1st batch because the 1 cup of milk was too watery. so the second time i made it i only used 1/4 cup of milk. 1 cup is way too much and i was wrong in my 1st comment. chills queso does not have beans. its only chili and velveeta. just like you wrote it.

ReplyDeleteJust whipped up a batch exactly as you have it written here. I think the 1 cup of milk is perfect. Any less, and it gets too thick to quick. It also helps cut down the spice kick. I think this version has a little more kick than the Chili's version, so I might cut down on that next time. But it is a great knock of version! Thanks for posting.
ReplyDeleteoh I forgot to add: This is a huge batch too. Unless I am going to a party, I will probably half this recipe for home nibbling. :)
ReplyDeleteI love this recipe. It tastes a little better then Chili's which I didn't think was possible. Whenever I go to Chili's I order the queso, but my best friend and I agree that we're spoiled with this recipe now and prefer it. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteMade this for the 4th time today. It's SO damn good and we found Tostitos Cantina Style Thin Chips to dip in it. They really make it that much better. TY for sharing this!!
