What is Rotel ?
Same question-what is Rotel?
Rotel is a brand of canned diced tomatoes that contain diced chilies. Found in most grocery stores.
Rotel is a brand of diced tomatoes. Any brand will work fine.
This was great! As my husband says, “this is a keeper!”
I don’t see tomatoes in the picture, do they cook down?
Hi Terry!
They are pretty small and I must not have got any in this shot! You could omit them if you don’t like them, but we prefer it with the Rotel!
Has anyone tried this as a “freezer meal”? If so, how did you like it?
Just want to double check… 1 cup cheddar cheese = 1 cup SHREDDED cheddar cheese. Right? Also… Is it the Rotel with the green chiles or just the tomatos?
Do you mix the soup with water?
No, do not add water to the soup.
Does this freeze well?
It should freeze fine in an airtight container.
What kind of French onion dip did you use.
Can you make this with regular pasta? If so, what kind? Thanks.
What kind of French Onion Dip did you use?
We have used Dean’s French Onion Dip and Kraft brand.
This was delicious, I made as directed and added the Rotel, mild with green chiles, it gave it a nice added flavor. Will definitely make it again.
For the French Dip, is it the powder or in liquid form?
I guess you could say it’s a solid. You can find it bottled on the store shelf. (Lay’s French onion dip on the chip aisle.) It’s also in the refrigerated section by the dips.
Did you boil the chicken or pan sear it or does it matter?
OMG this makes a LOT!! It barely fit in my 9×13 pan. For a family of 4 I’d say half everything!
We boiled our chicken and then diced it up ahead of time.
Has anyone figured out calories in this?
This is delish! Love it! Will definitely cook,it again!
This was SO simple and delicious! This is the second recipe that I have tried of yours. Both times I thought the recipe seemed too simple but BOTH times proved me wrong. I love this!!!!
Do you add the pasta first and pour soup mixture on top, or do you mix everything together and then add to the baking dish? Did I somehow miss a step?
It’s in the directions. Cook the egg noodles and set aside. Then in a large mixing bowl, combine chicken, soup, onion dip, diced tomatoes and cheese. Then fold in the egg noodles that you set aside earlier. And then add all to the prepared pan. Hope this helps.
I keep looking back at the recipe wondering if I did something wrong but its all exactly as I did. This recipe was terrible. The dip with the Rotel, and cream of chicken is gross. Not one single person in my family would eat this. We eat all of the items that are in this recipe but I wouldn’t recommend putting them together.
Do you really mean to use 7 (seven) chicken breasts? That seems like a lot.
Thank you
Thanks for catching that. It should be more like 4-5 depending on their size.
be careful as rotel comes with peppers not terribly spicy depending on how much u use if u don’t like spicy (meaning hot spicy) get the can without the peppers.
Hello what is a jar of French onion dip? Is it a glass jar of the dip you dip potato chips in?
Yes, you can buy it in the jar, or in the deli section and it comes in a carton that looks like a cottage cheese container.
The whole family loved this!
This sounds delicious but it’s just my husband and at home. Have you tried freezing this? Our would the sour cream in the dip cause issues when separated?
You could easily cut the recipe in half and make it in an 8×8 inch pan, or you could make the full recipe and freeze the leftovers in portion sizes for the two of you.
My family loves this casserole!
Our family loves this recipe! I prefer to use a rotisserie chicken to save time and effort. I also use about 4oz French Onion dip and 4oz Sour Cream. Leftovers are great too!
I haven’t made this recipe yet but have it from a cookbook. That version says 16 oz French onion dip. This one says 6 oz. Maybe it’s been revised. Have people who’ve made it and liked it used 6 oz? (All other ingredients were the same.
