ROTEL MACARONI AND CHEESE
This dish is so simple, yet so delicious. I've been making this for years, and never get tired of it. Usually this is served as a side dish, but I've eaten it as the main course before too! You can use ONE can of original Rotel if you want. 2 cans of original make it SUPER hot. Go for it if you're brave! ;-)

ROTEL GOULASH
I don't know where this came from; it's similar to others listed, but the addition of the Rotel really gives it a spicy flavor. If you don't like as much heat, use the milder Rotel and/or substitute one of the cans of Rotel with petite diced tomatoes. Very inexpensive, easy and quick to make! I serve with garlic toast.
