Ingredients

1 pound sage flavored breakfast sausage

3 cups shredded potatoes drained and pressed

¼ c butter, melted

12 ounces mild cheddar cheese, shredded

½ c onion shredded

1 (16 oz) container small curd cottage cheese

6 jumbo eggs

  

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Lightly grease a 9x13” baking dish.
  2. Place sausage in a large skillet.  Cook over medium-high heat until evenly browned.  Drain, crumble and set aside.
  3. In prepared baking dish, stir together the shredded potatoes and butter.  Line the bottom and sides of the baking dish with the mixture.  IN a bowl, mix the sausage, cheese, onion, cottage cheese and eggs.  Pour over the potato mixture. 
  4. Bake 1 hour in oven or until a toothpick inserted into center of the casserole comes out clean.  Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
 

*Tip:  Change out the breakfast sausage with turkey sausage, ground turkey, lean ground beef or soy crumbles.  This would really change the NI and decrease the fat. 

This would be a wonderful Christmas or weekend breakfast casserole that could be prepared ahead of time and tossed into the oven when ready.

 

Make sure the NI is recalculated when substituting ingredients.

I forgot to mention I made this the other night, subbed out turkey sausage for the regular and it was wonderful.  No one would know the difference.  Great thing for the holiday breakfast things coming up.
