You can't beat a good classic salsa, but if you don't like Rotel dip, I
don't even want to know you.

I can't say I've ever eaten Rotel as a dip. Why - when refrigerated
is so good? I do use it for the occasional sf's version of King Ranch
Chicken and a can of Rotel always lives on the back of the
refrigerator (the closest thing I have to a pantry).

I'd prefer the Rotel in a refried bean dip.

Thanks.

Then Tara is going to have to not know me. I don't like cheese
very much; I like Velveeta even less. My husband would be
all over it, though.

As I said before, a bean dip with it would be fine. I googled and
this is more my speed and probably yours too

1 (16 oz.) can refried beans
1 can Rotel tomatoes, diced variety (mostly drained)
4 oz. grated cheddar cheese
2-3 tbsp. sliced jalapeños*

Place can of refried beans in microwaveable dish. Microwave for 1
minute (or until soft). Add drained Rotel tomatoes and stir. Microwave
1 minute. Add jalapeños, stir and microwave 1 minute. Serve hot with
restaurant style tortilla chips.

*Why bother with fresh jalapeños when you've just opened two cans?
Open a small can of diced chile peppers and add that. Or,
alternatively, buy the can of refried beans that comes with chiles in
it.

I love cheese, but melting process cheese with canned tomatoes is hideous.

I know a lot of us are old, and when we were younger, using canned stuff
was just what we did. As Steve said, "The 1960's called. They want their recipe back."

I accept American GOVERNMENT cheese on freakin' McDoubles, but how can
any person take pride in slopping together that stuff with canned whatever?

She really might as well have said, "If you don't like [Banquet TV dinners], I
don't even want to know you."

No, sorry. Don't like refried beans. I'll stick with salsa fresca.

Really - you don't like refried beans? Are you some kind of weirdo?


What's your stand on guacamole?

In fact, I am some kind of weirdo. I like cilantro sprigs in a salad.

>What's your stand on guacamole?

When made properly, it's good. Even some improper guacamole is fine.
If I'm in a hurry, I'll mash up some avocado and thrown in a tablespoon
of homemade salsa. But mayo and sour cream have no place in guacamole.

I'm pretty much a purist. Tomato does not belong in guacamole AFAIC.
I want lime juice, some heat, salt and maybe pepper. That's it.

God save us from that abomination!

Oh no, when I put avocados on my sandwich, am I eating an abomination? Ah well, different strokes. I do make guacamole like you do, however.

You're not making guacamole, so that's fine.

You didn't notice that I didn't say avocado should *never* be combined
with them, just that they don't belong in guacamole.

Notice it's a can of Rotel to *1* pound of Velveeta, so a standard 2 lb
loaf of Velveeta takes 2 cans if you use the whole thing.

The extra hot Rotel is better.

12 oz of "Deluxe" American Cheese slices (any brand) works better than
16 oz of Velveeta.

Whatever you use, it is very high in sodium. Just be aware of that if
you are on a restricted diet or just don't like salt.
