Chili Queso Dip That Everyone Agrees On!
With football season in full swing, your friends and family will LOVE a new twist on a classic Queso Dip! Thanks to creamy VELVEETA Cheese and zesty RO*TEL tomatoes
and green chilies, this dip is ready in 5 minutes!
In our house, girls out number the boys. The TV is always turned onto a lifestyle or food channel, the music is usually of the “teen bop” nature, and the food..well, the food is one thing we all agree upon. I’m sure you have all had Queso Dip. Right? It’s a classic. I know I’ve been eating this dip for centuries. Well, fine, not centuries, but you get the drift. Many many years.
One pound of VELVEETA cheese and one can of undrained RO*TEL tomatoes with green chilies combined and served with tortilla chips. I added a delicious twist by adding a can of chili to this dip. If you like beans, feel free to use whatever brand or type you enjoy. I used a good, meaty chili with no beans. Actually, it’s the perfect dip to serve at YOUR next tailgating party.
Do you tailgate? What team do you follow? My family is from Chicago, so of course we’re Packers fans. Bwahahaha, kidding. We are of COURSE Bears fans. Even my girls have Bears t-shirts and jerseys. Yep, another agreement in our home. Having friends over for football though can be a little tricky. We live in the heart of Bengals country (Cincinnati) and most of our friends are Bengals fans. Fortunately, when you have good food, people aren’t really watching the game, they are standing over the big bowl of queso dip! And I’m okay with that – I may even be able to change the channel when nobody is looking!
Another great reason to make this crowd pleasing dip? Well, it not only makes enough to serve a crowd, but it’s ready in 5 minutes. One bowl, in the microwave, no cleanup necessary. I usually pour the ingredients into the bowl, cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate. When I’m ready to serve the dip, put the bowl (with the plastic wrap) right into the microwave. I even serve straight from this bowl. Seriously, how easy is that? Gives you more time to enjoy your guests when you aren’t slaving in the kitchen! Just in case you aren’t sure STILL how to make this recipe, yep, I made you a video. It’s a “Cheesy” video!!

Velveeta makes the perfect smooth warm sauce, so easy. The add ins are endless
I love this dip and have a version of it on my blog. I sometimes skip the beans depending on who I’m making it for – but either way, always a hit. Looks great, Aimee!
It’s the perfect dip because it’s so easy and cheap and feeds a ton of people
I love this dip because all of the ingredients is something I have stocked in my pantry. So this is something I can rely on whenever I have guests. Sometimes I substitute fresh ground beef to the recipe instead of the chili. YUM!
That was an awesome game last night, wasn’t it. Even though I’m down in NC, I pull for the Bears also. Once a Bears fan, always a Bears fan. I’m actually kind of glad I didn’t have this dip with me while I was watching…I’d have finished off the whole thing by myself. It looks SO good.
Everybody loves it, it’s not too spicy for anyone!
This dip is simply the best!! My husband loves cheese. We love Mexican food. It is very special to look forward to having this sometimes and for football watching at home on a weekend. A traditional queso dip people just love!
It’s the perfect dip because it tastes OH SO GOOD!
What makes queso so great is that you can do it in the microwave and it is ready in mins!! Love it!
This dip is so great because its easy to make and tastes delicious!
Its the perfect party dip, because I have never met anyone that doesn’t like it 🙂
The queso dip is perfect because everyone loves Velveeta! I make something similar with hamburger & sausage and everyone can’t get enough!!

I really like tailgating food … but I prefer it in a heated house vs. the cold outdoors:) I love the idea of adding chili to queso, though I think I’d leave the beans in … what a great addition! Sure to be a hit!
Everyone wants something fast, easy to make, and delicious when they’re having people over. This fills the bill and then some!

Not just for football games – my MIL has started making this every Thanksgiving so we don’t go hungry waiting for everyone to show up
We love making cheese dip like this, because you can just add in whatever ingredients you have on hand. Sausage, chopped bell pepper, etc.

I make a similar cheesy dip and it is a hit with everyone! I will have to try this one out as well – sounds delicious!
It’s easy to make and super yummy!
I love this dip because of nostalgia! Years ago, my college roommate’s mom made it for a Thanksgiving gathering, but she added so much hot pepper that no one wanted to eat it! So she made us take it home with us… it was SO HOT! But still good 😉
Love queso for the winter months, a warm and yummy snack

thanks for the giveaway
This is the BEST dip for football watching – who does not like cheese? And then you add meat and make it a little spicy – perfection!
Because queso is really just cheese. And melted cheese (or, cheese in any form) is always the best.

Queso is perfect because it’s a yummy mixture of cheese and tomatoes, who could pass that up?
Ooops, too late. Sorry
I like to mix it with crab, a little bit of bay seasoning and heat it in the microwave. It is so delicious, I have to make at least two batches at a time!!
Woah. That sounds so awesome Rosie!
It’s so smooth and goes down easy!!
we make ours with 1 lb velveeta, 1 lb sausage and a small jar of salsa! Its amazing!
