Quick! Ro-Tel tomatoes--are they o.k.?

02-04-2003, 06:34 AM

Hi! I'm right in the middle of getting my crockpot dinner around (I'm making Helen's crockpot chili found on the crockpot thread)--it calls for Ro-Tel tomatoes. The lowest sugar can I found has 3 grams of sugar per serving (2.5 servings in a can). Is that too much?? Should I just use regular Contadina tomato sauce instead? Thanks!!

They're fine- that's natural sugar from the tomatoes and Ro*Tel are actually a LOT less carbs than other canned tomatoes(about 10-12g net per can versus 17-24g for canned diced tomatoes!)

I say go for it. I used them in mexicali chicken and it was awsome!
