Have you ever heard of Rotel?

Wow, I wouldn't know what to do without Rotel. I buy it a half dozen cans at a time. And it goes fast.

Yep, I've heard of Rotel. I cook with it fairly regularly; it's great in a lot of casseroles. I like a bit of heat and Rotel has just enough.

However, one time I substituted the extra hot Rotel for the regular. Yikes, we could barely eat it! I learned that lesson.

I like to use Rotelle in chili instead of tomato sauce. It adds a nice pepper heat that makes a special chili. I also use in other mexican dishes I make like Tacos.

I would be one of the people who clicked "What the heck is that?" This is the second spice/herb that I have discovered on this forum

[TexasRose]

Well, it's not so much a spice or herb as it is a can of tomatoes.

But still, glad we can be informative!

Tomatoes and chili peppers as I recall. I love the Rotel and Velveeta cheese dip.

Yeah, I know what it is, but I don't know what to put it in. I've been doing fine without it, so I don't need to try it.

[TexasRose]

You can put it in most anything.

At the very least, try putting it in some melted Velveeta next Superbowl Sunday.

I've never heard of it either, but I've also not heard of many other spices. I'm not that educated about cookin'.

We have all kinds of Rotel here. We always use in in a chicken casserole. Chicken, soft tortilla chips soaked in bullion, rotel, and chedder cheese. all layered and then baked. I think it is called King chicken. My Aunt fixed it alot when I was a kid.
