For tips on how to use Ro*Tel in your cooking, check out these 15 Spicy Rotel recipes!

When you think of a can of Ro*Tel (or a can of diced tomatoes in chilies) do you think of just a salsa for your nacho chips?  Or do you think of all the ways you can use it?  Personally, I buy multiple cans at once.  When I find them on sale for 2 for a dollar, I stock up.

So, I am continuously trying to find new ways to make easy RoTel recipes.

Obviously, the boys prefer my Rotel Dip with Ground Beef, but they also love it in Taco soups, over chicken, and more!

There are dozens of recipe combinations to trick your kids into eating tomatoes and spice up your menu plan!

Chicken Rotel Recipes

The Mexican Chicken Casserole is like a Chicken Taco in one dish, super easy, Casserole form!

Easy Chicken Tortilla Soup is one of those double-duty dinners!  Make it once and eat it twice – you know the kind I am talking about! From soup on Day one to Tacos on day 2 – if you had enough Chicken or a small enough family you could actually do this into 3 days!  Day one would be a baked chicken, then soup, then tacos!  Of course, my family of five probably won’t even make it to day 2. LOL!

Adding just a tad of spicy green chilies and tangy tomatoes totally transforms chicken into a yummy tex-mex style crockpot chicken dinner!

Beef Rotel Recipes

Turn a pan of soup into an Impossible Taco Pie that is chock full of beef and spicy flavor!  What makes it impossible?  The fact that it becomes pie!  This recipe ends up making its very own crust in the privacy of the oven.  My kids think it is so neat!

Take the Impossible Pie and change a few things to create an Impossibly Skinny Taco Pie that weighs in at approximately 160 calories per serving!  According to my middle boy, this pie is “impossibly still yummy even though Minnie took out all the calories”!

The Rotel Dip with Hamburger Meat is by far one of my family’s favorite Rotel recipes!  Plus, this busy mom of 3 really likes the super quick easiness of melting the cheese in the microwave while browning some meat and in some Rotel and ta da.

I have no idea why this is called Indiana Chowder, but oh man does it sounds yummy

Although the Four Bean Goulash has a long list of ingredients, they are ingredients that most of us always seem to have in the pantry.  So, don’t let the ingredient list intimidate you, I promise this is definitely an easy recipe!

Crystal and Comp breaks out of her norm and tells us how to make Taco Soup on the Stove!  Yes, seriously… gone is the crockpot for this recipe!

Nony might be a self-professed slob, but she still has to feed her family!  A Slob Comes Clean actually shares the secret ingredient to her cheese dip!
