~.5 cup fat free small curd cottage cheese
~.25 cups low fat or reduced fat extra sharp cheddar cheese- shredded
~1 teas worcestershire sauce(or more to taste- but it gives dip a dirty look if you use too much)
~1 teas hot pepper sauce(or more to taste)
~.25 cups green onions finely chopped
~180 grams "Lays" baked tostitos tortilla chips- the "scoops" kind(this is a little more than half a bag)

Here is how you make Blue Crab Cheese Dip:

In a medium mixing bowl mix all ingredients EXCEPT chips and green onions.Place in an oven safe bowl large enough to hold 3 cups. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until hot all the way through and bubbly. ** I also warm the chips in the oven alongside the dip for the last 10 minutes of cook time. To serve wrap bowl in colorful cloth or towel- to prevent guests from touching and burning themselves- place on a trivet and sprinkle with green onions. Serve warm chips on the side.
