I used a can of the Ro-Tel and this was soo good (I like it spicy but this didn't seem over the top or anything hot). Will definitely make again(-: Thanks for sharing!

I have made this recipe many, many times since it was first published in Light & Tasty. My family really enjoys it and I think you will, too.

This was good, but if I make it again I will add more beans because it didn't keep me full for very long.

Very good but I used Rotel where they asked for tomatoes and green chilies. That was almost too much spice for me. The next time I might just use salsa to replace the rotel.
