Chili’s Skillet Queso Recipe (Copycat)

I live in a small rural town, and we only have one chain “sit down” restaurant that is in the neighboring town.  It’s actually the only chain sit-down restaurant for over 100 miles.

The only chain restaurant in our town is Chili’s, and our whole community is slightly addicted to anything they serve.  When Chili’s first came into town, my go-to order was a blooming onion, but I had to come up with a new favorite appetizer since they stopped selling the blooming onion. It didn’t take long for me to try out Chili’s Queso.  Yum!

The problem with being hooked is that I can’t make the trip often enough and justify eating out at the same time.  This means that I needed to be able to recreate this cheesy goodness at home, and I do believe I have hit the nail on the head with this Copycat Chili’s Skillet Queso Recipe.
