Dude! Ro-tel is a staple here... Use it all the time, and not just in chile con queso.

My Dad and Stepmom make a simple deer chili, using Ro-tel for the "heat." Comes out great every year. With our homemade shredded wild hog tamales we make at Christmas time, you are talking about some serious good eatin'!

Poodlesrule, that sounds like a great idea... I'm willing to give 'er a try!
