Chili's Skillet Queso Recipe
Description
This recipe starts by cubing Velveeta cheese, which melts smoothly when heated with milk. It incorporates canned chili without beans, providing savory meatiness, and a blend of spices: ground cayenne pepper for heat, paprika for mild smokiness, chili powder for depth, cumin for earthiness, and a touch of lime juice for brightness. These ingredients are heated together in a pot and stirred until the cheese is fully melted and the dip is creamy.
The resulting queso is richly textured and balanced in flavor, with mild heat and a smooth, velvety base. It is designed to be served immediately while warm, ideal for dipping tortilla chips or as a topping for Mexican-style dishes.
Ingredients
- 16 oz Velveeta cheese
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 15 oz can chili no beans, Hormel brand
- 3 teaspoons chili powder (less if you want it more mild)
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
Instructions
- Cut Velveeta into cubes. Place in a medium pot with the remaining ingredients.
- Stir and heat until all cheese is melted.
- Serve immediately.
