    Completely optional but I like to remove the extra moisture to help keep the dip from becoming too watery. If you are in a hurry or prefer you can just dump in the full can.rotel tomatoes in a colander, draining

    What do you serve with boat dip?

    If you are keeping keto or low carb serve pork rind chips or cup up vegetables. I don't keep keto so I love a Frito Scoop corn chip or traditional tortilla chip. I have even been known to dollop this dip on tacos or a burger!

        I see what you mean! No. It is just 1 can. I need to adjust the associated ingredient in the recipe card. Step 1 is to drain the rotel, and THEN use it later in the recipe.

        Thanks! Sarah

        I had to come up with an appetizer in a snap and I had all the ingredients for this recipe. I added green onions to the dip and boy or boy will this be a keeper. Yummy.

        I made this dip for tailgate today, I made it the night before so it was in the frig for about 20 hours. At the game the dip hot more liquidy because of the heat, but it did not have much flavor, I think it was too much as our cream. The recipe calls for 24oz but 16oz would have been better.
