Spicy Corn Dip

 
Happy Fall Y'All
 
My absolute favorite season is fall.  I love the colors of fall and I try to decorate my house with fall colors whenever I can get away with it.  One of the things I also think of about in the fall is tailgating and watching sports.  I'm not really a fan of football (sorry, I'm more of a hockey fan) but I do love the food.  I also enjoy making a meal out of appetizers.
 
The other thing that goes along with fall is the cold weather and lots of activities.  My kids are in 3 different activities and add that to homeschool and life can get pretty busy so anything quick and easy is perfect.
 
This is one of those dips that you can make as spicy as you prefer.  I enjoy it less spicy so I used the mild rotel, but you can make it as spicy as you like.  I know some people who would love this with jalapenos or chopped up chili peppers in adobo sauce.
