Ro-Tel Just Released Its Hottest Creation Yet

Cooler weather is on its way which means it’s time for things to heat up in the kitchen. Say goodbye to the cold meals you’ve been relying on all summer and embrace all the delicious soups, stews, and chili your heart desires. Whether you want to whip up your favorite queso in the crockpot to enjoy during a football game or a hearty hotdish for your family, you’re going to need the ultimate flavor booster: a can of Ro-Tel.

We love Ro-Tel because it’s an easy way to enhance flavor and can be added to a wide range of recipes. While the product remains the same at heart—diced tomatoes and peppers—the brand has continued to innovate over the years, offering a variety of flavors, including a fire-roasted one and a lime juice and cilantro variation.

Now, the Texas-founded company has dropped a new product for fans whose spice cravings weren’t quite satisfied with Ro-Tel Hot and need something even bolder.

Ro-Tel Releases Xtra Hot Diced Tomatoes with Ghost Peppers 

Ro-Tel Xtra Hot Diced Tomatoes with Ghost Peppers is hitting shelves, making it easier than ever to add serious spice to all your favorite dishes. The new variety features the brand’s beloved diced tomatoes, but now with jalapeños and ghost peppers for an extra fiery twist. 

If you’re unfamiliar, ghost peppers have a Scoville score that soars far above that of the green chile peppers used in the Ro-Tel Original. While they don’t come close to the hottest pepper in the world, ghost peppers do pack a big punch, even landing on our list of spiciest recipes. 

In a recent Reddit thread, fans shared their initial thoughts on Ro-Tel Xtra Hot. “It was really good! I was surprised at the heat as ghost pepper is often advertised but never delivered. It had my husband coughing,” shared one Redditor. “It’s definitely better than regular Ro-Tel but it won’t give you the same flavor fresh ghost peppers do,” added another. 

Ro-Tel Xtra Hot Diced Tomatoes and Ghost Pepper is available at grocery stores nationwide so be sure to grab a can on your next shopping trip. You never know, it could be the one ingredient that’s missing from your soon-to-be crowd-pleasing Chicken Chili.
