Notes
- Other brands of tomatoes with green chiles can be substituted for Rotel, but Rotel is my preference.
- Other varieties of Rotel can be used such as spicy or fire roasted according to personal preference.
- To reduce the calories and fat in this dip, you can use light cream cheese and light sour cream, then make the recipe as directed. Avoid using fat free cream cheese as it doesn't melt the same way and will not make as good of a dip.
