This recipe can be made from pantry staples. Mix it up to suit your preferences, serve with Scoops at any party, tailgating, or Sunday afternoon snack. Use Scoops instead of chips because it is juicy - have napkins handy. If B. is making this, he will use the hottest variety of Rotel tomatoes.

Oh dear good lord I love this stuff. Very easily addicting, fun party food, entertaining name, and contains all sorts of veggie-goodness since I have yet to meet a vegetable I don't eat (mushrooms are fungi, they don't count). A must have on the nibbles table or as munchies before a party. It will most likely not last that long though, so make a lot or be ready to run out.
