Few things I do differently. Don't use pre shreded cheese. It has anti clumping agents added like starches and other things. It makes your queso not as smooth or creamy as it could be. Cheddar isn't a great melting cheese. Mix with mozzarella. If using cheddar, use mild cheeses. Sharp cheese has been aged longer and turns to grease fast when melted due to low moisture content. And melt in a series of short runs in the microwave. 30 sec and stir then 30 sec and stir. This prevents over cooking one area and under cooking another. Over cooked cheese turns to grease. Toss some jalapenos, or red pepper flakes next time for a bit more kick. Garnish with cilantro.
Thank you for this. I thought hers looked a bit curdled or broken. I know others have said it looked delicious but the appearance put me off. I think I'll try it with your modifications. Thanks!
Clicking on this was divine intervention. I LOVE queso, like obsessed. But also I'm in the process of losing weight and getting healthier. I have been using cottage cheese in all kinds of ways, here is one more. I have all the ingredients and low carb tortillas already. Yummmmm
I love the fact that I started following you a few months ago. You gave me food options that didn't leave me feeling deprived or high on sugar. I lost at least 100 lbs, and I plan on keeping it off. I will be making this, and the bread. Thanks for what you do. 😊
@@WhaynnaAraujo-n2k I would assume so. In my family, if we're making lasagna & we're out of ricotta cheese, we use cottage cheese. I hope it works out for you.
Thanks for changing it up Myra and showing that keto, low carb, intermittant fasting... it all works and can be used according to what your current weight and health status are. Also... you seem extra happy in this video. You're always pleasant and positive... but you seem to be radiating something extra. : )
I love cottage cheese. My mom always kept it in our fridge while I was growing up, and we are talking decades ago. She always bought the pink Knudsen's carton, which is low fat and small curd. Try cottage cheese with Pace Picante Salsa on top. OMGoddess. Life changing.
I grew up absolutely hating cottage cheese, this receipe is a game changer for me, because you cannot taste the cottage cheese. For the shredded cheese, I use low fat cheddar and rinse it with water; gives the smoothest consistency because it gets ride of the residual powders on it.
Happy Sunday to you Mayra! Congrats on surpassing 1m subscribers…you definitely deserve it👏🏼 Best of luck for continued success! Stay blessed and beautiful 🙏🏼
I have been on a ketogenic diet for about a year now and at first I was dissapointed with the results. I used to have migraines extremely often, it turns out that I was missing electrolytes. By making use of mealplans (in my case *DynamicKeto* ) I started to see what I should eat. what really gets me going is that my skin started to look better to!
Oh wow. I would have never ever thought of doing this. Yippee. No more jars of cheese sauce for me ever now. The possibilities are endless with using cottage cheese. I am soooooo happy. Umm, wondering if you can do a low carb mac n cheese maybe using Lupin flour pasta products and cottage cheese sauce for us. Thank you sharing this recipe as now I have an almost instant cheese sauce now.
Cottage cheese isn’t considered keto friendly. I read where someone asked if they could use ricotta cheese and that’s a great idea! It’s already smooth so you wouldn’t have to blend and it has a lot less carbs than cottage cheese:)
I’m thinking about trying keto and have been watching your videos since yesterday afternoon. Your recipes make me excited about trying it out. Thanks for all of these recipes! One question I have for you, do you incorporate a lot of exercise in your days or does most of your weight loss and health come from your low carb keto?
Girl.... Love your channel. Please did I just see you on TV with your partner selling your beautiful home!!!!! Was that you??? I think it was!!! AMAZING
I will have to try this. Im gonna have to stock up on cottage cheese 😂.I can't remember if you said you like coconut. I just found coconut cake I want to try as well. Southern keto made it with cottage cheese. Have you tried it?
I really will appreciate if I can see the ingredients for I can go and buy them. I try to write them down when I see the videos but I sometimes cannot write the name of some stuff, so can you please please send me the names of the ingredients that you use when you make a video because I am so interested in keeping up with all your recipes. I really appreciate you doing such a beautiful job. I really love washing your videos your the best
Hi! I love your channel. I was just wondering of you had a scratch recipe for homemade sausage patties? It would be so nice to meal prep some for the freezer. That cheese sauce looks so damn good. ❤
Hi, love it ! I’m sure I can use any low carb tortillas? I clicked the link and the low carb corn tortillas are sold out. They must be good. Thank you!
Looks good. I'm gonna try it. Thanks. Not meaning to sound critical, but a lot of us are okay with fat - and some of us don't get enough of it. I may add some heavy cream to mine. When we're on any of the various Low Carb High Fat diets, we don't worry about calories - most of the time. In fact it's strange because some of the "sciency" low carb/keto influencers talk about how silly the "calorie" concept is - how it's just a construct and not reflective of what goes on inside our bodies. Of course, we all inherit this concept of "the calorie" and we all grew up being told how important calories are - again I don't mean to sound critical at all. I don't know if it's helpful for me to say this - and of course some people don't want to eat so much fat - so knowing there are options here is good. Thanks again for this recipe.
Mmm... That is a meal for me. I'll add a little bit of ground beef. Get a few of my Taco Bell packets and take this on the road in my lunch bag so I'm not tempted to stop at Taco Bell. Thanks, Myra

Thank you! I didntknow that about sharp cheddar!
Thank you, as a cheese head from Wisconsin - truly appreciate your suggestions 😊
TYSM❤
This the 🥇
I made your queso recipe today! Sooo good! I used it for my pork rinds.
It didn't work for me! It turned into melted cheese all stuck together surrounded by alot of liquid!
Clicking on this was divine intervention. I LOVE queso, like obsessed. But also I'm in the process of losing weight and getting healthier. I have been using cottage cheese in all kinds of ways, here is one more. I have all the ingredients and low carb tortillas already. Yummmmm
I like it when you give amounts and carb counts without having to go to receipe
I love the fact that I started following you a few months ago. You gave me food options that didn't leave me feeling deprived or high on sugar. I lost at least 100 lbs, and I plan on keeping it off. I will be making this, and the bread. Thanks for what you do. 😊
Can I use ricotta cheese I do not have cottage cheese
@@WhaynnaAraujo-n2k I would assume so. In my family, if we're making lasagna & we're out of ricotta cheese, we use cottage cheese. I hope it works out for you.
@@WhaynnaAraujo-n2k ricotta has less carbs so that’s actually a great idea!!!
Sounds yummy, I think I will add either rotel or homemade salsa!
I add rotel to mine.. sooo good
That would be delicious on cooked broccoli
Omg yess
Ooo, good thinking! 😊
I just made it and it tastes way better then the jars of queso at the store.
I love making ranch dressing with cottage cheese comes out so good ❤
recipe please?
Put the cottage cheese in the blender and add ranch dressing packet the dry stuff then blend it depends on how much ranch flavor you want
Such a good idea. I'm trying this
👍

Made it today, ate it with carrots. Delicious 😋
I was, literally, just searching a keto cheese sauce. Thank you for this.
Enjoy!
I love cottage cheese. My mom always kept it in our fridge while I was growing up, and we are talking decades ago. She always bought the pink Knudsen's carton, which is low fat and small curd.
Try cottage cheese with Pace Picante Salsa on top. OMGoddess. Life changing.
I have loved pace for years but they seem to still be using high fructose corn syrup in their salsa, I think we need to get on them to stop it.
@@lovelight9164 perhaps!
I love nachos so this will be a great topping for it. Thank you ❤

I've been making this for some months now, I do add ground turkey to mine. And I air fry my zero calorie street tortillas. Mmmm so soooooo good😊❤
Do you use shells? Or chips? Or shells to make chips? Sounds good
@@alyssanowak9272 i make my chips out of the zero carb tortillas

Notification gang happy Sunday
Hi, love it ! I’m sure I can use any low carb tortillas? I clicked the link and the low carb corn tortillas are sold out. They must be good. Thank you!
The A La Madre tortillas are amazing, I order at least a 3pk and keep them in my freezer.
Thank you. 👍🏻
I don't like cottage cheese. Will I like this?
Amount? Looks like 1 or 2 cups cottage cheese 1 cup cheddar?
Looks good. I'm gonna try it. Thanks.

How long will it last in fridge?
Paprika is mostly just color, but smoked paprika is a lot of good flavor, not just color. Just can’t add too much.
Which tortilla recipe? I didn’t see it linked, she has a few
I love ❤️ love 💕 love 💗 you and your channel is amazing 😉 Iam telling everybody I know
Oh my goodness I may have to make this tonight 😂❤
I’m making this tfs🧀🪤🫕
Mmm... That is a meal for me. I'll add a little bit of ground beef. Get a few of my Taco Bell packets and take this on the road in my lunch bag so I'm not tempted to stop at Taco Bell. Thanks, Myra
Make your own carb free taco seasoning. Chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, cumin.
Thanks!!
Add paprika if you want that traditional taco flavour
@@sand9550 Oops I forgot to add that to the list of ingredients.
❤❤ thanks!
Yum!!
I will make it and eat it with baked tortilla chips
YES! So good! 😋
