The Ro*tel Story

INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

ROTEL originated in the sun-drenched Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas,
where for a long time it remained the best kept secret in the  country.
In the 1940s, cans were only shipped as far away as San  Antonio and
Houston and Dallas. Later, ROTEL Tomatoes and Green  Chilies had
slipped their way to the foreign side of the Red River  and were being
sopped up in Oklahoma and Arkansas.  In 1963, the wife of one of the
country's best-known politicians in  Washington bragged about her
recipe for homemade chili in a national  magazine. And, lo and behold,
she wrote that her main secret  ingredient was a healthy dose of RO*TEL
Tomatoes and Green Chilies.  The rest, as they say, is lots of tasty
history. today, with southwest  cooking rampant from sea to shining
sea, ROTEL can be found just about  everywhere. It's the single best
seasoning sauce for southwestern  cooking a person's gonna find. You'll
even find ROTEL at a certain  important address on Pennsylvania Avenue
in Washington, D.C. That's  because the Number One favorite snack of
the President himself,  according to newspapers all over the country,
if Famous ROTEL Cheese  Dip - the recipe right off the ROTEL can, which
is also printed here  on page 3.  If you haven't tried RO*TEL, you're
in for a treat. As Crazy Sam puts  it: "Have some and you'll wind up
grinning like apossum that's been  eating green persimmons."  Only
RO*TEL is a heckuva lot better.  From "Southwestern Sensations Starring
