This copycat Chili’s queso dip is creamy, spicy, and addictive! With bold flavors, melty cheese, and a twist of lime, it’ll be the star of your spread.

Ingredients

  • 16 oz Velveeta cheese, cubed
  • 1 can Hormel chili (without beans)
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 4 teaspoons chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice

Directions

  1. 1

    Cut the Velveeta cheese into small, even-sized cubes. This will help it melt evenly during cooking.

  2. 2

    In a medium-sized saucepan, add the cubed cheese, chili, milk, chili powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, cumin, and lime juice.

  3. 3

    Set the saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently to ensure the cheese melts smoothly and the ingredients blend together.

  4. 4

    Once the mixture is fully melted and combined, reduce the heat to low. Let the dip simmer gently for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking or burning. This allows the flavors to meld perfectly.

  5. 5

    Transfer the queso to a serving dish or keep it warm in a slow cooker. Serve hot with tortilla chips for dipping, and enjoy this crowd-pleasing appetizer!
