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!

Chili's Copycat Spicy Queso

easy slow cooker copycat spicy queso recipe - this is the thing I craved the most when I was pregnant with my youngest so I learned to make it myself instead of constantly eating out!

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!

What’s  your favorite, easy, recipe to take to a party? I’m always on the look out for more great recipes to add to my collection!

    I love Velveeta cheese and can never find it. It makes the best dips and mac/cheese. Digging on this recipe – perfect of the big game!

    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
