Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- ⅓ cup shredded cheddar cheese

- Blend again until well combined.
3. Heat the Queso:
- Transfer the mixture to a microwave-safe bowl.
- Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the cheese is melted and the dip is warm (about 1 minute total).
