Left overs…….How do you spice them up? I’ll admit, I’m not much of a left over kind of gal. But I’m trying to get better. It saves money, food, time! I had some left over ground turkey, so I thought I’d spice things up and use this recipe using VELVEETA® and RO*TEL®.
This is my last month with VELVEETA® and RO*TEL®.
