GNO - Must Have (besides wine)

Friday I met up with friends for Girls Night Out. Over the years, the faces have changed but one thing hasn't...Rotel Dip! The MUST HAVE staple for any girls night, trip, bunco party etc.  I will never forget the girls trip to Destin where we met some New Yorkers who had *gasp* never heard of rotel dip. Seriously! Obviously, we immediately made a batch (even though it was 2am) and new fans of it were made. Best thing they ever had they said!  

Here we are enjoying it on the first night of the trip

And Here we are sharing it with the New York group the next night

Start with the basic recipe

Velveeta and a can of Rotel 

I prefer the ratio of 1 small bar of Velveeta to 2 cans Rotel. 

Dice the cheese and place in either crockpot or microwave safe bowl. Pour cans over top and heat, stirring occasionally, til melted. 

From here, you can branch out and add other ingredients like sausage, chorizo, avocado. The possibilities are endless. You can even make Rotel Spaghetti. An old college neighbor (thanks Kristin) shared this with me years ago. 

Cook spaghetti noodles per box directions

Shred cooked chicken breasts

Melt rotel per above 

Place in casserole dish and top with breadcrumbs and bake til bubbly 

Totally not healthy but who can turn down cheesy goodness?
