Chilis Queso Dip Recipe

This recipe, inspired by Chili’s famous version, is a smooth blend of Velveeta cheese and flavorful chili, making it wonderfully creamy and vibrant.
You can prepare it in a slow cooker or a skillet, and it pairs perfectly with tortilla chips for dipping.
Don’t forget a splash of lime juice; it’s a little twist that brightens up the whole dish!

Ingredients
  
  • 1 lb. Velveeta Cheese
  • 1 can Chili 15 oz.
  • 1/4 cup Milk
  • 2 tsp Paprika
  • 1/2 tsp Cayenne Pepper
  • 1/4 cup Salsa
Instructions
 
  • Cube the Velveeta cheese into small pieces.
  • This helps it melt evenly and quickly when heated.
  • In a medium saucepan, combine the cheese, chili, and milk over low heat.
  • Stir frequently to ensure the mix doesn’t stick to the bottom.
  • Add paprika, cayenne pepper, and salsa to the mixture.
  • Stir to incorporate the spices and add a kick to the dip.
  • Continue to stir for about 5-7 minutes until the mixture becomes smooth and slightly bubbly.
  • Avoid boiling to prevent the dip from separating.
  • Serve immediately while hot.
  • Ideal as a dip for tortilla chips or over nachos.
