1 pound sage flavored breakfast sausage
3 cups shredded potatoes, drained and pressed
¼ cup butter, melted
1 (16 ounce) container small curd cottage cheese
12 ounces mild Cheddar cheese, shredded
½ cup onion, shredded
8 eggs
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Heat a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Cook sausage in the hot skillet until evenly
browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease.
Stir together shredded potatoes and butter in the prepared baking dish; lightly press mixture into
the bottom and sides of the dish. Mix together sausage, cottage cheese, Cheddar cheese, onion,
and eggs in a bowl. Pour over potato mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of casserole comes out
clean, about 1 hour. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving
