When we moved to our new digs a few weeks ago, I couldn’t wait to get cookin’ in my new-to-me kitchen. I LOVE our little kitchen. In particular, the stove that came with it. It’s got a handy double oven that I’m sure I’ll put to good use when we entertain. A couple of weeks after we “settled” in {far from it, actually}, I hosted a little family birthday party for my oldest. We provided all the food and fixin’s and my menu consisted of several new finger foods. This one called for bacon, cheese, mayo, and Rotel. The ingredients had me at hello. And when I took my first bite of these little bits of heaven, it had me singing! Trust me, you’ll wanna “RO-tel it on the mountain” when you take your first bite, too!
ROTEL CUPS
adapted via kendallboggs.com
3 pkgs. mini fillo shells {in the frozen aisle}
1 can Rotel, drained almost all the way {I used Mild}
1 bag real bacon bits
1 1/2 cups shredded colby & monterrey jack cheese
1 cup mayonnaise
C’mon people. For an appetizer, it doesn’t get any easier.
In a large bowl, mix together almost fully drained Rotel, bacon bits, and mayo until blended.
Add in the cheese and stir until mixed.
Now go ahead and fill your shells. Don’t be too generous with the filling or you’ll end up with lots of unused shells at the end. And you DON’T want any of them to go to waste! I filled each with a partially filled tablespoon and then went back and added more to some of the cups that didn’t get their fair share of tastiness.
Are you worried about the combo of mayo/bacon/cheese/& Rotel? DON’T!!!!!!!!!! Just keep goin’. Pop these in the oven and cook at 350 for about 15-20ish minutes. They’ll be all golden and bubbly when they’re ready to come out.
Hands down, these little cups are one of my most FAVORITE appetizers ever!!! They’ve definitely found a permanent place in my app repertoire. I can’t tell you how tasty they really are! This recipe made A TON and there wasn’t one leftover by the night’s end. That was due in part because of my disturbing consumption, but I couldn’t help it…you seriously can’t eat just one…or even 10 for that matter. Try these out at your next get together and you’ll see why they have me singin’!!! I’m pretty sure you’ll belt out a little tune, too!
