Notes
Original recipe via ReadySetEat.com and Rotel. In the attached photo version I did not have green bell pepper, it’s a good addition to include if you can. May want to use regular or spicy Rotel instead of mild, depending on your family’s spice preference.
Also can be good to top with sour cream!

Thanks for this simple and practical recipe! My one suggestion: Butter, not margarine!
Point well taken! We’ve generally stopped using margarine in most cases and go with butter. I deleted “or margarine” from the recipe!
