It is so awesome that you can your own tomatoes! Home canned ingredients add such a richness of flavor to reciepes that can't be beat.
Rotel is basically spiced Tomatoes that have chillis in it and is rated by degree of hotness as in mild, medium and hot.Thank you for your comments. Very Appreciate
