Chili Con Queso Dip Recipe

Saturday, September 24, 2016
Chili Con Queso Dip is one of my favorites. It's super easy to make from scratch. The silky smooth Queso Dip recipe is loaded with meat, beans, and plenty of seasoning making it a favorite at football parties, Christmas parties, potlucks, and barbecues. It's also a favorite in our house for afternoon snacking. 

I love that it's made in under 30 minutes from scratch and has no Velveeta. Cheddar  Cheese gives this Chili Con Queso recipe a delicious flavor you just can't get from artificial cheese. 

Bewarned if you make it for a party everyone will be asking for you to always bring it!

I made Chili Queso Dip last Sunday because it's the perfect snacking material while watching football, or reading, or just because. I mean does anyone really need a reason to indulge in Chili Queso Dip?

I usually see Queso Dip made with Velveeta cheese, so I figured I was long overdue to share this deliciousness made without Velveeta.

The real cheddar cheese takes this recipe to a whole new level. I loaded it with meat and beans making it the perfect Sunday afternoon snack/lunch/dinner/midnight snack, or whatever.

You might also know this as Chili Con Queso Dip or Queso Chili Dip.

Here's how to make this easy Queso Dip Recipe from scratch:
