💡 Tips for best results
- Don’t overcook pasta—it softens more in the oven
- Rotel adds mild spice; use plain tomatoes if you prefer it mild
- Add a splash of hot sauce for extra kick 🔥
- Leftovers taste even better the next day
If you want, I can also give you:
- Crockpot version (dump-and-go method)
- Extra spicy Cajun-style twist
- Or a lighter version without canned soup 👍
