Rotel Hotdish is an oldie but goodie in our home and has previously been here on the blog as one of my very first recipes. Because of this, it was rough around the edges and so I knew it was time for a refresh and update…not only to the pictures, but to the recipe as well.
The boys (all three of them) in my house are picky. As a result, when I find a recipe that is a hit in our house, it becomes a staple. This One-Pan Rotel Hotdish is one of those! While, I don’t like to eat the same thing over and over and over (unless it’s a good brownie and milk), T eats the same things over and over!! As a result, I’ve been making this for a couple years now and while the original recipe was a great Pinterest find, I have tweaked it to make it my own!
- 1lb ground beef
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1/2 onion – chopped
- 3 cups dry Rotini pasta
- 2 cups water
- 2 cups beef broth
- 15 ounces tomato soup
- 1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 can Rotel, drained
- In a large, deep pan, brown the hamburger and drain the grease.
- Sautee the garlic and onion in the oil until translucent.
- To the pan, add the water, beef broth, and pasta. Bring to a boil and cook until most of the liquid is absorbed and pasta is tender.
- Stir in the tomato sauce, Ro-Tel, and chili powder.
- Heat through and serve!
T isn’t a fan of casseroles loaded up with cream soups, so this meets that criteria. He also likes dishes with a little spice and it definitely meets that criteria as well! The chili powder is adjustable to your heat desire! I like it because it can be easily thrown together and doesn’t require the oven! It also sneaks some tomatoes into their diets, which they normally won’t eat. I make this frequently for T and put it in separate containers for his lunches and it freezes very well! I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
This looks so good! Spenser would love this! 🙂 I’ll have to pick up a can of Rotel and make this next week. 🙂
It was definitely a hit in our house! I hope you enjoy!
My husband would love this. I have to confess, I’ve never tried cooking with Rotel. There’s a first time for everything!
I have several recipes that i use Rotel in!!
