I tried this with a group of about 8 this weekend and everyone loved it. I substituted the cottage cheese for sour cream because we dont like cottage cheese and everyone thought it was great. The only thing its missing is something crunchy, Im considering adding tortilla chip topping next time I make it. great recipe and sooo easy to make, THANK YOU
