This creamy, flavorful queso dip is a perfect copycat of the popular Chili’s dip. Made with Velveeta cheese, no-bean chili, and a variety of spices, it’s a crowd-pleasing snack for game days and parties. Serve it with tortilla chips and optional garnishes like chopped onions and cilantro.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 32 ounces Velveeta cheese, chopped into chunks
  • 2 (15-ounce) cans no-bean chili (e.g., Wolf brand or Hormel)
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 6 tablespoons lime juice (juice from 3 limes)
  • 3 tablespoons chili powder
  • 2 tablespoons paprika
  • 2 tablespoons cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • Tortilla chips (for serving)
  • Optional garnishes: chopped onions, chopped cilantro, lime wedges

Instructions

Slow Cooker Method:

  1. Combine all ingredients: Add Velveeta, chili, milk, lime juice, chili powder, paprika, cumin, and cayenne pepper to a slow cooker.
  2. Cook: Set the slow cooker to high heat and cook for 1 hour, stirring halfway through. Alternatively, cook on low for 2-3 hours, stirring halfway through.
  3. Serve: Once the cheese is fully melted and the dip is smooth, serve with tortilla chips and optional garnishes.

Stove Top Method:

  1. Combine all ingredients: Add Velveeta, chili, milk, lime juice, chili powder, paprika, cumin, and cayenne pepper to a large pot.
  2. Cook: Heat over low, stirring frequently until the cheese is melted and the dip is smooth.
  3. Serve: Serve warm with tortilla chips and optional garnishes.

Notes

  • This dip reheats easily in the microwave, on the stove, or in the slow cooker.
  • Wolf brand no-bean chili is recommended for the best flavor, but other brands like Hormel also work well.
  • Letting the queso sit longer in the slow cooker enhances the flavor as the ingredients meld together.
