If you like the spice, substitute spicy sausage or chorizo for the ground beef.

Had not heard of Rotel

Been living under a rock?

I use that stuff a lot.

Put it in chili, cheese dip obviously, and I have a simple crockpot recipe where you pretty much use steak, green beans, and rotel.

It?s also good straight out of the can just to dip tortilla chips in.

[BladesNBarrels]

Yeah, I avoid green chili.
I like the taste, but the after effects are no bueno.

Habanero Rotel, brothers. That's where it's at.

Habanero Rotel, brothers. That's where it's at.

Been a Rotel fan forever. Just found out about the habanero variety since I moved to OK. Threw a can into some chicken/veggie soup the other day. Winner!

Ex made this fairly often in the winter. One of my favorites from The Fort restaurant.

Habanero Rotel is the best, I'm hoping they come out with Scorpion Pepper soon. I throw a can into Mac N Cheese just about every time I make it.

I've got a twist on this that we picked up from another church family back in TX when I was a kid.

1 block of Velveeta
1 can Rotel
1 can Campbell's Cream of Mushroom soup (I use the 25% sodium reduced because the regular can be a bit salty - Healthy Choice version suuuucks)

Heat it all up in a double boiler and it will blow your mind how good it is. Good luck trying to find the soup flavor in the finished product. It makes it better, but you can't identify it.

Gman’s Beef Chili

1 Tbsp Olive Oil
2 lbs Top Sirloin or quality stew meat in 3/4" cubes, trimmed with external fat removed
2 lbs Lean Ground Beef
1 Medium onion, diced
1 15oz Can Hunts Tomato Sauce + 2.5 cans water (2 cans if you like it thick)
1/3 Cup flour
2 Cups medium Pace Thick & Chunky Salsa
2 15oz Cans Black Beans, drained and rinsed
2 Tbsp Garlic, minced
9 Tbsp Good Quality Chili powder
1 Tbsp Cumin powder
2 tsp dried Oregano, crushed
2 Tbsp Chipotle Tabasco
1/2 tsp Cayenne Pepper
Salt, Pepper, and Tabasco to taste
30 Ghirardelli 60% Cacao Bittersweet Chocolate chips

Add olive oil to large pot or enameled dutch oven. Brown sirloin and ground beef over medium high heat. Add onions and continue to stir to cook onions until transparent. Reduce heat and add flour, stirring to coat the beef (this will later thicken the chili). Stir in tomato sauce and water. Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. Reduce heat to a simmer and cover. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Simmer for at least an hour before serving. Longer simmer times are preferred for best flavor.
