AKA Chicken Spaghetti. Rotel AND jalapenos? Be careful, the Rotel is usually enough for most folks. The cheese, Rotel & soup make a good dip.
Hi Brenda,
Chicken spaghetti is a much easier name for it. I certainly should have mentioned to adjust the heat factor as desired. You do not need to use the jalapeno pepper and to make it even more mild you can used diced tomatoes versus Rotel. You’ll enjoy it any way you make it. I do so love the cheese and Rotel dip … aka Queso! Thanks for the tips.
