I might be a little bit partial but May is my favorite month of the year. Why, because it is my birthday month! Woohoo! May is always one big fiesta for our family. We actually celebrate several birthdays throughout the month.

One of my birthday morning traditions is that my husband brings me breakfast in bed. That is the best present he could ever give me. This year I am going to have him make me this southwestern breakfast casserole. It is a simple breakfast casserole kicked up a few notches with the addition of RO*TEL. I love the spiciness it adds to the casserole.

If someone looked in my pantry they would find a shelf with at least 5 cans of RO*TEL. I use it for so many different recipes like this one pan cheesy quinoa with turkey kielbasa and these easy chicken empanadas. It is so versatile and the perfect ingredient to add bold flavor to our everyday breakfast, lunch and dinner.

RO*TEL helps me put a bold and spicy spin on meals no matter what day of the week. I found RO*TEL on my weekly trip to Walmart in the tomato sauce aisle.
