Jazzed Up Cheese Dip?

Life in the oil field is by no means glamorous. It's dirty, stressful, unpredictable, and dangerous. It's also really hard on your relationships and family. The money is good, but the work is unsteady, and you spend a lot of time away from home.
In spite of all of the negative aspects, Jeremy loves his job. For him, the good outweighs the bad, and for me, I love seeing him do what he loves. Our time spent apart is filled with just as much love as when we are together, and the nights spent alone make the ones we spend together even more special. =)

Jeremy’s Oil Rig Chicken Spaghetti

Jeremy picked up this recipe while he was out on an oil rig. It’s a meal that we have pretty often, and Jeremy loves it. It’s a little spicy and VERY cheesy, so don’t say you weren’t warned! LOL!

1 (12oz.) package of spaghetti noodles

½ large package Velveeta Cheese

1 can Rotel; drained

1 can cream of chicken or cream of mushroom soup

4 boneless chicken breasts; cooked (I usually either roast them, or just boil them) and cut into cubes {you can also use a whole chicken. Sometimes I’ll just get a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store and use all the meat from it.}

• Bring the water for your noodles to a boil, then cook the noodles according to the directions on the package. (It’s usually about 9-10 min.) {You can also add some chicken bouillon to the pasta water too, I generally add a few tablespoons. It just adds a little more flavor.}

• While the water is boiling and the noodles are cooking, start the sauce by cutting ½ a package of Velveeta into cubes and putting them in a microwave safe bowl. (I usually add just a touch of milk so it melts a little better.)

• Add the soup to the cheese and microwave it until it’s melted. (You want to try to stir it every 30 seconds or so, that way it doesn’t burn.)

• Once the cheese is melted and the soup is incorporated, mix in the Rotel and microwave another 30 seconds.

• Drain the noodles, put them back in the pot, add the chicken, then add the sauce and stir it up.
