Saying we are obsessed with Skillet Queso in our house, would be an understatement. It is one of the only things that every single person in our family loves. Normally I am fighting one of the kids to eat or my husband is eating something that he doesn’t love, but not with this. It is delicious and full of flavor. We were seriously eating at Chili’s once a week before we discovered the amazing combination of cheese and Hormel No Bean Chili. I didn’t even know No Bean Chili existed until a couple of years ago and now I always keep it on hand to satisfy our queso cravings.
This recipe can be whipped up in just a few minutes and it is full of delicious flavors. It is our go to party food and it seems we can hardly watch a sports event without it.
You will need:
- 16 ounces of Velveeta 2% Milk (This is about half a box)
- 1 Can Hormel No Bean Chili
- http://amzn.to/2oz1RMFCast Iron Skillet
- 1 Cup Milk
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
- 3 teaspoons chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
Cut up the cheese into small sections. Add the cheese and milk into a saucepan or skillet over medium heat. Stir frequently until the cheese starts to melt. Add the spice and lime juice and stir well and then add the chili, stirring until everything is well combined and melted. I like to use the 2% Velveeta instead of the original because not only does the cheese melt better but it also has less fat than the original version.
Serve immediately with chips. We also love to serve it with a cup of salsa so everyone can switch up their flavors a little bit.
What is your favorite party snack?
Yes please! That looks just incredible and I can not wait to have it over here. Maybe this weekend!
That sounds amazing. Who needs to go out anymore when I can just make this at home!
Everyone was gone the other day and I ended up eating refried beans & chips for lunch. Not my finest moment. This would up my lunch game 100%.
I have never made queso at home. It's so easy I really should look into it! This sounds great.
Skillet Queso is one of my family's favorites. I serve it when we invite friends over for game night, and they devour it.
Oh my gosh that looks so delicious! I'm not going to lie I've totally made a meal out of this before.
I have never tried Chili's Skillet Queso, but your copycat recipe looks really delicious. I know our guests would love this for the frequent gatherings we have during the summer.
We LOVE anything queso, so we're going to have to try this! Looks so good!

I have used Velveeta and no beans chili for years (about 20 now) but never thought of using milk or spices. So going to try this, thanks for sharing!
this looks so good and like something that my family would love. Any kind of dip works for me that has the word queso in it 😉
This looks so amazing. I love Chilli's dip and I'll def have to try it.
The spices sound like taco seasoning. Anyone tried that?
Armour or Wolf brand would be so much better than Hormel.
Hormel is amazing, just like their pepperoni!
What size can of chili?
