Last Minute Salsa

I went to visit my parents yesterday, for a little while.  And, as usually happens when leaving, we end up with a bag of "leftovers" and such to bring home with us.  Yesterday it was piles of pancakes.....and tortilla chips. I know, odd combination :-)   Anyhow, I really like munching on tortilla chips - especially if I have a dip to go with them.  So, last night, I was making chili for the hot dogs we were going to eat for my daughter's birthday supper.  Hot dog chili for me is just browning some hamburger, then throwing in a little bit of Manwich Sloppy Joe sauce and chili seasoning....and a little ketchup and mustard.  Anyhow, I had about 3/4th of a can of Manwich leftover.  And, rather than waste it, I decided I'd take some of the tortilla chips and dip them in the Manwich sauce (since I didn't have any salsa).  Well, it tasted pretty good.....but, seemed to be missing something - the "chunkiness" of salsa.  So, that's when I decided - hmmmm, wonder what it would taste like with a can of Rotel?  So, I drained a can of Rotel, added it to the Manwich sauce, and put it through the blender (my hubby doesn't like chunky tomatoes, so I was trying to be considerate <chuckle>)....and VOILA!  Salsa!  I don't know if it's of any cost savings or not, over a jar of Picante......but it served its last-minute purpose, and the fam enjoyed it! :-)
