Notes
- Depending on your preference, you may use a spicier or milder can of Rotel tomatoes.
- May substitute low-fat or regular cottage cheese for fat-free cottage cheese.
- You may substitute shredded cheddar or Colby Jack cheese for Velveeta cheese. However, avoid pre-shredded cheese, which contains anti-caking agents that can interfere with the melting.
- If the mixture is too thick, add milk to achieve the desired consistency.
