A delightful and hearty breakfast casserole perfect for brunch gatherings.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Ensure your oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
Cook the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess grease.
Break the sausage into small pieces as it cooks for even browning.
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded potatoes and melted butter. Mix well.
Use your hands or a spatula to ensure the potatoes are evenly coated.
Press the potato mixture into the bottom and sides of a greased baking dish to form a crust.
Press firmly to create an even layer that will hold the filling.
In the same mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, cheddar cheese, onion, bell pepper, cottage cheese, and eggs. Mix until well combined.
Ensure the eggs are fully mixed into the filling for even cooking.
Pour the filling over the potato crust in the baking dish.
Spread the filling evenly to ensure consistent baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Check the casserole halfway through baking to ensure it is cooking evenly.
Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Allowing the casserole to cool slightly helps it set and makes slicing easier.
