Nils, it's diced tomatoes and peppers.

Here's the recipe to nirvana:
Add 1 can of RoTel to 1lb of Velveeta (cut into 1 inch cubes).
Nuke for 4-5 minutes.
Grab a bag of tortilla chips and enjoy.

Skuzzy, in my defense, cheddar does not melt properly. Also, Velveeta is made in Sherman.

You are using the wrong kind of cheddar and/or not prepping it properly.  Dunt believe everything you see on TV about cheddar and Velveeta.


Oh my.  We (state of Texas) are responsible for Velveeta?  Holy potatoes!  Yet another reason the world will not like us!  EEEK!

Don't go getting a complex just yet Skuzzy. I think Kraft has a plant in just about every state.

You could make it with cheddar, but you have to add a lot of water to get the consistancy right. There is a mexican cheese that makes a great queso, but the name escapes me.

Seeing that (http://world.std.com/~Infinity/rightloop/weirdart/velveeta.jpg)

I can understand why you are attracted by Velveeta.
But eating a pasteurized cheese should be sentenced by death* IMO.

Ok, so I can call off the covert operation to melt the plant?  Phew.  I was not sure how many MAPP bottles it would take to melt it, but was pretty sure I would need a good size truck to carry them in.

And Star,..that is disgusting.  You're off the Christmas card list.

Yo!  RPM, Rotel is not Rotel, and hasn't been since it was sold in 1992.  They ceased using the local chilies and tomatos soon after.  If you want real "Elsa" Tomatos and Chiles (Rotel), then you need to buy whatever is canned by the Rio Grande Canning Company and locally labeled (HEB here).

edit-and it wasn't done to be evil, just to meet demand, but commodity tomatos and chilies are not the same.

Christ processed cheese and tinned tomatoes ( pronounced tom- art- toes ) are the best thing ever?

Not going to disagree with you, but Ro-Tel must be lying.

In 1992, American Home Food Products added RO*TEL Tomatoes and Green Chilies to its
family of fine foods.

In November of 1996, the business was acquired by Hicks, Muse, Tate & Furst Incorporated
and C. Dean Metropoulos & Company, and is now part of International Home Foods, Inc.

Because the original RO*TEL Whole and Diced varieties proved to be so popular, extra hot and
milder were added to the product line along with Mexican and Italian.

International Home Foods was acquired by ConAgra Foods, Inc. in 2002, however, none of that
changed Ro*Tel, which is still made by many of the same people with the same ingredients.

I guess it's like when Campbell's bought Pace and Bimbo bought Mrs. Baird's.:(

Same ingredients, for sure:  Tomatos and Chilies.  It does not say where those tomatos and chilies are grown, but it is NOT from Elsa; they use commodity stuff, from where ever they can get it.  Get a can of both and compare, Senor.  We won't even get into discussing the LCD nature of the current product, heatwise.

HEB makes a queso blanco that is a good substitute for Velveeta.  You can get it with or without the chiles in it.  I usually go for with and add a can or 2 of Rotel also.   MMMMMMmmmmm
