Looking for the recipe for Chili’s Skillet Queso Cheese Dip? Well, you’ve come to the right place! We love to share copycat recipes because one way to save money is recreating your restaurant favorites at home.
We do enjoy eating out. We’ve shared it is and has been a weakness financially for us and so we have to be intentional and creative when it comes to wanting to eat out. First, taking several steps to save time at home so that we aren’t tempted to eat out (we’ve shared dozens of tips on this topic) but sometimes, the desire to eat out isn’t due to lack of time, but just because you enjoy the food! So that’s where making it at home comes into play.
We enjoy many of the dishes at Chilis, and when we do eat out there, we often get the bottomless chips as they are a great value. Every once in a while, we also got the Skillet Queso Dip with it and it is such a treat!

Is Velveeta cheddar cheese? We don’t have that brand in Australia.

Velveeta is a processed American cheese that can be found on the shelf at the grocery store (as opposed to being in the refrigerator with the rest of the cheese)…googling the equivalent it looks like the closest you have is Kraft Cheddar Cheese. As long as it is a processed cheese, you should get the same consistency. Hope this helps!
