This one works very well for making the night before (cover and refrigerate before baking); increase the cooking time slightly or take it out to warm up for about a half hour before baking. Sausage or other meat is optional. Ingredients:
1 lb bulk breakfast sausage (optional) |
3 cups potatoes, shredded, drained and pressed |
1/4 cup butter, melted |
12 ounces mild cheddar cheese, shredded |
1/2 cup onion, minced |
1/2 cup green pepper, chopped |
1 lb small curd cottage cheese |
6 large eggs |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. If using sausage, place in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until evenly brown; drain, crumble and set aside.
3. Stir together shredded potatoes and melted butter.
4. Line bottom and sides of a medium glass baking dish with potato mixture.
5. Combine cooked sausage (if using), cheddar cheese, onion, green pepper, cottage cheese and eggs; pour mixture into baking dish.
6. Bake for 60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of the casserole comes out clean.
7. Cool for 5 minutes before serving.
