Hearty Breakfast Sausage Bake
  1. 1

    Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

  2. 2

    Heat a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the sausage in the hot skillet until browned evenly and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard the grease.

  3. 3

    In the prepared baking dish, stir together the shredded potatoes and butter; gently press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the dish.

  4. 4

    In a bowl, mix together the sausage, cottage cheese, Cheddar cheese, onion, and eggs. Pour the mixture over the potatoes.

  5. 5

    Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of the casserole comes out clean, about 1 hour. Let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
