Amish Breakfast Casserole


I've been looking for a basic breakfast casserole that my entire family would like for a long time. I found this one on allrecipes.com, and I thought it was a good start. I made it *almost* as directed, and it went over very well! My girls rolled it up in a tortilla and ate it with sour cream. My husband and I just ate it from the pan! Although next time I think it would be really good with some peppers to add some nutritional value. You could also add spinach to make it a little like a florentine quiche without the hassle of a crust. 

It was pretty easy, and reasonably cheap! My total cost was in the neighborhood of $7.50. It is easily 12 servings, so that makes it about $.63 per serving. Cheaper than hitting the $1 menu at McDonalds!

Here is my adapted recipe,
 
Ingredients

  • 1/2 lb sliced bacon, diced
  • 1/2 medium sweet onion, chopped
  • 6 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1/4 quarter cup sour cream
  • 4 cups frozen shredded hash brown potatoes, thawed
  • 3 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups small curd cottage cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. In a large skillet, cook bacon and onion until bacon is crisp; drain. Beat the sour cream in to the eggs. In a bowl, combine the egg and sour cream mixture with the remaining ingredients; stir in bacon mixture. Transfer to a greased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking dish.
  2. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees F for 35-40 minutes or until set and bubbly. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting.
