Ro*Tel Tomato Recipes
Well, dad brought me back about 10 cans of the stuff - 4 different varieties! Yeah! 
Now it's time to share, my neighbours to the south (or North in Mrs. J's case)! What is your favourite recipe using Ro*Tel tomatoes? |

Glad you got some. I have never in my life seen someone excited about getting some diced tomatoes with chiles in them.  ...Plus, it's cute to see it always referred to as ro*tel. 
Anyway, the simple answer to your question is chili and mexican food (esp salsas). My favorite chili recipe ever * 1lbs ground beef (or 1/2lb ground chuck & 1/lb ground turkey) * 1/2 onion, chopped * 1 t pepper * 1/4 t garlic salt * 1 can tomato sauce * 10 oz diced tomatoes w/chile (rotel) * 1/2 jar (8 oz) PACE picante salsa (or whatever kind, this is just my fav and i use chunky) * 2 T chili seasoning mix * 1 can of mushrooms (drained well) * 3/4 can of drained corn * 1 can of ranch style chili beans (some people prefer 1/2 can red kidney beans and 1/2 can of dark red kidney beans as the original recipe suggests, but us Texans love them ranch style chili beans) DIRECTIONS 1. In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the ground beef and the onion and saute for 10 minutes, or until meat is browned and onion is tender. Drain grease, if desired. 2. Add the ground black pepper, garlic salt, tomato sauce, salsa, chili seasoning mix, mushrooms, corn, tomatoes, and kidney beans. Mix well, reduce heat to low and simmer for at least an hour. (after i mix the ingredients, I just stuff it in a crockpot for 2 1/2 hrs) It's the best! If I can find some of my mexican tortilla pie recipes, I'll post them in a sec. |

| I don't even want to think about food right now.......so here's the website, it makes me drool just to go thru it:
http://www.ro-tel.com/pages/recipes/index.jsp |
| And basically, Rotel tomatoes are just regular canned tomatoes with mild green chilies in them, so any recipe you'd normally make with canned tomatoes would be good... |
| Thanks everyone! They have so many recipes on the website... mmm makes me drool too!
The dip with velveeta cheese sounds awesome! Can't wait to try it. I'll try making it with and without meat. Sounds great both ways. |
| I suspect those 10 cans will disappear quickly, LOL |
| Where did he find Ro*tel in Chicago. I'm now craving Ro*tel dip like never before and I won't settle for inauthentic ingredients. |
