Only thing that I change is that I do use a well drained can of Ro-Tel in place of the picante sauce and sometimes I will add a splash of hot sauce.
Using the Mexican Velveeta cheese in place of the original is also wonderful

Hi Colleen,
I've made it with Ro-Tel too and my husband loves to add a little hot sauce as well. I'll have to try the Mexican Velveeta next time.
