Sausage Casserole

This was very good. I didn’t bother shredding the onions - just diced and added to the sausage sauté. I used thawed hashbrowns that I still pressed dry to eliminate as much moisture as possible. It’s hard to tell when this is fully cooked because the cottage cheese makes this so creamy but after an hour it appeared done and I let sit for 15 min before slicing. Really easy and pretty good. I would make again. Thanks William!

I made this for Sunday morning breakfast and everyone loved it. I used 4 cups of shredded potatoes instead of three. I also used cubanelle and green peppers and ricotta instead of cottage. It came out creamy and not dry. Everyone had seconds and they can't wait until I make it again. Love this recipe.

Because there are just two of us I cut the recipe in half and used a 8x8 Pyrex dish which I sprayed first. I used hot Jimmy Dean sausage and added some diced red bell pepper and white onion cooked along with the sausage. I used fresh grated sharp cheddar cheese and Daisy 4% cottage cheese. I had a package of Simply Potatoe hash browns that I used with the melted butter in the bottom of the dish pressed down. I also added a small can of Ortega mild chilies. Three normal size eggs and only cooked the smaller size for 45 minutes. I served it with a cup of fresh chopped fruit and homemade banana nut bread. This would be good for either dinner or breakfast and I will definitely make it again.

This is a delicious recipe as-is, but I love how versatile this recipe is. We have chickens and often have more eggs than we know what to do with, and it is an easy way to use lots of eggs quickly. I usually double the number of eggs. It makes it go farther. I use the cubed hash browns sometimes, and I almost always add more hash browns, because there aren't enough to go up the sides of my casserole dish at 3 cups. I'll do 4-5 cups and just pour the butter over them in the casserole dish. I didn't have enough cottage cheese today and did half cottage cheese and half sour cream. That actually worked really well. You can add mushrooms, diced green chiles or rotel, spicy cheeses, etc. to give it a different type of deliciousness. If you double the eggs, just add a bit more of everything else... doesn't need to be precise measurements, but if you like precise measurements, just 1.5 everything else.Great recipe!

Very good recipe, I pretty much followed the same directions. I didn't need to measure.

Love this recipe!! 💙
