After nearly two years in development, Southwestern Queso will replace two previous iterations, Skillet Beef and White Skillet Queso, with a new recipe that finally gives guests the queso they deserve, starting Tuesday, Oct. 7. Given Skillet Beef and White Skillet Queso each only account for about 1% of sales, guests are clearly looking for a better queso from Chili’s. The result is the new Southwestern Queso, which delivers the upgrade fans have been craving. In a taste test, nearly 70% of respondents prefer the new, refined flavor profile of the Southwestern Queso when compared to the previous Skillet Beef Queso. Chili’s invites all guests in to try the new Southwestern Queso and Chicken Bacon Ranch Nachos beginning Tuesday, Oct. 7.
