Tips & Notes

  • This recipe is great for a slow cooker during a party. Or make it ahead of time and keep it in the slow cooker.
  • Make this vegetarian by swapping the ground beef with black or pinto beans.
  • Want more veggies? Bell peppers, onions, and chilis would be great add-ins. In this case, add another can of Rotel as well.
  • Spice this recipe up by using chorizo instead of hamburger or adding jalapeños at the end of the cooking time for the hamburger.
