Description
This cottage cheese queso dip will convert any cottage cheese haters without them even knowing it. It's a high protein sauce with cottage cheese, cheddar cheese, and taco seasonings that's a great sauce for nachos or a dip for chips or veggies. But don't just limit it to a dip; use the queso as a high protein salad dressing, use it as a Mac & Cheese sauce, even make some cheesy beans?
