Hey, Stacey, I usually buy my Rotels at whatever Dollar store I go to. The Chilis are a nice bump in the tomatoes.They’re cheap and I use them to add a little spice to everything from meatloaf to chile to whatever. Not super spicey.

This is a go to meal for our family! We’ve never made it in the crock, though, so excited to try it out!! We add a 1/2 a bag of frozen mixed veggies in to make it a whole meal. 🙂

I made this recipe with two adjustments: I used sausage, and the Rotell tomatoes I used had habaneros in them.

Hi do I need to precook the tater tots? Or can I just use the frozen tater tot and just place them in the slow cooker?

While my kids & I all love cheese, my husband doesn’t. ( I know – GASP!). Does the cheese make this dish or do you think it could be omitted?

I made this tonight and liked it, but my husband didn’t. I think I’ll try it with sausage. He isn’t a huge fan of ground beef.
