Chili’s Skillet Queso

We have been known to eat out a lot around here.  With a family of five that can get quite expensive. I decided to go on a quest of finding or creating recipes that were similar to our restaurant favorites.

Have you had Chili’s Skillet Queso?  If not, you are missing out. We get it as an appetizer every time we go.  It is so creamy and warm.  Combine that with their amazing tortilla chips and you have a true winning combination.  This recipe is almost identical to the original, although my kids say it is even better.

I couldn’t wait to share this one with you because we love it and make it quite often.
