We don’t eat out much, I prefer to make my own food, but every once in a while I’ll crave something I’ve eaten before someplace and we’ll head over. The sad part is usually I have that one thing and it’s either 1. not as good as I remember, or 2. the ONLY thing good about the meal. SO rather than spend a bunch of money on food I don’t like I usually learn to make my own!
I went through a phase (when I was pregnant of course) when I craved Chili’s skillet queso for like a month straight! Thankfully it’s EASY to duplicate, esp in the slow cooker. This is larger than most recipes, but I have a large family and all the kids love it too. It’s a favorite party food as well, perfect for any potluck or game day get together!
I recently did a live cooking show sharing 8 perfect game day recipes – And of course this dip is one of them! It tastes JUST like the chili’s dip and everyone loves it!

Today I did a video collaboration on YouTube with “The Melea Show”, a local blogger and friend of mine! I shared with her three of my easiest game day recipes here (hummus, this Chili’s copycat queso and puppy chow)
and she came over to my channel and shared her 7 layer dip!

I made this for the big game a couple of weeks ago and it was a hit! So easy and had just the right amount of heat. Now I don’t need to Cafe Rio to get my queso fix anymore😉! Thanks!!

that’s a hard one – since everyone eats such different amts. I say 16 servings but we tend to eat more than the recommended serving size
