Queso-Immersed Skillet Sandwiches

Miller's Ale House Debuts Skillet Queso Dunks

Miller's Ale House has launched new limited-time menu items called Skillet Queso Dunks. This indulgent menu development places classic sandwiches inside sizzling skillets of hot queso for an over-the-top, dunk-worthy dining experience.

Miller's Ale House's Skillet Queso Dunks menu boasts two varieties — the Skillet Queso Bacon Cheeseburger, featuring a juicy bacon cheeseburger nestled in chorizo and pico queso for a spicy kick, and the Skillet Queso Chicken Bacon Ranch Sandwich, which pairs a buttermilk fried chicken sandwich with a ranch queso skillet. Both items are priced affordably and are designed to bring fresh, indulgent energy to game-day dining as March Madness unfolds.

Miller's Ale House's Skillet Queso Dunks menu launch marks the beginning of a year-long series of skillet innovations, with additional variations planned for summer and the holiday season.
