Ro•Tel Influence?

Remember this? -- I live in a Ro*Tel State

It was about Ro•Tel, the regional brand of tomatoes and peppers. The organic tomato canner Muir Glen seems to be getting into this market. I had a good result using the depicted can in a recipe of chili. I also used up the bottom of a bottle of chipotle bbq sauce and some chili powder, cumin, and oregano, so I can't be certain of where the spice flavors originated. But the contents of the can seemed very satisfactory.

  2. Hi Ellen and Alec,
    I love your chili powder, but you gave me the recipe, so I make it often. I think we would like to get to San Diego before we make detailed plans. We hope to get into our apartment on January 4.

  3. I think one difference might be the chipotle peppers versus jalapenos, which are what I believe is in rotel.

    How long will you be in San Diego? My parents used to go to La Jolla for a few months every winter.

  4. Hi Jen,
    I think both brands of tomatoes/peppers offer options of either chipotle or jalapeno & maybe another choice too.

    We will be in CA for around 6 months -- I hope it stops snowing so we can leave! But I will still blog about travel and food (also at maetravels.blogspot.com).

  5. I'm laughing, because I went to the supermarket in my town today and found...Ro*Tel! Seriously, I think these people have been reading our blog posts and now I can say that I live in a Ro*Tel state. Amazing!
