What is Rotel and what section of the grocery store would I find it in?

Hi Jessica,

Rotel are a brand of canned tomatoes with hot peppers. You can make the equivalent yourself at home by adding some jalapeno or poblano peppers (for a mild version) or cayenne or Scotch bonnet for a hot version. Add a tiny amount at a time and taste; adjusting as desired.

I loved this recipe. Very easy, fast and delicious!

Going to buy the stuff for this today!

Could I substitute something else for the chicken soup, our family doesn't eat any chicken.

Hi Lisa,

Try vegetable or beef broth.

I'm getting ready to make this recipe, and saw the question about how to make it without chicken. You can just make a sort of white sauce, in the "big fat cookbook" with veggie bouillon mix along with the milk. It has great flavor.
(Basically, it's : melt a T or so of butter in a small pan, add a little more flour, like 1-1/2 T, stir until it's all bubbly, add 1 c. milk and the bouillon.)

Made this... substituted cream of celery soup for cream of chicken, used crushed tortilla chips instead or tortillas and used chili ready canned tomatoes instead of rotel. Browned Hamburg drained and added taco seasoning. AMAZING! Served with shredded lettuce, onions and sour cream. Family raved!

This might be a silly question...but do you use tortilla like those flat bread things (un cooked) or tortilla chips?
Thanks!!

There are two kinds of tortillas there is flour, (like those flat bread things) and there is corn, (things like Doritos and taco shells are basically fried corn tortillas). I have made this with both kinds and both are fantastic! This is equally good with shredded chicken instead of hamburger too!

Amazing! So easy and good. I added 2 lb. meat and more cheese.

So easy... and my husband and friends loved it!

Super quick and easy. Uses pantry staples. My family loves it!

Does anyone know if you drain the beans and corn?

Great and easy! Make sure to drain the corn and beans so the casserole doesn't get soggy!

I love it. My new favorite meal. I used chicken instead of hamburger. And cream of mushroom instead of cream of chicken.

Love it! Husband liked it as well. Thanks for the recipe!

Tasty and easy. It was too spicy for the kids because of the green chiles in the Rotel. Next time I might try using diced tomatoes minus the chiles. You can always add hot sauce to it once served if you like a little heat.
