What Is In Rotel?
Rotel is the name brand for a product consisting of diced tomatoes and green chilies. It comes in several varieties with different levels of spiciness. The name comes from its inventor Carl Roettele, who started a family canning company in Texas circa 1940. The most common recipe to use Rotel in is chili con queso—usually with Velveeta cheese—but these recipes will show you there’s a lot more in the Rotel recipe department to sample.
