Welcome!

Thank you for witnessing my voluntary leap into the blogging rabbit hole. I am in desperate need of a project and decided rather than trying something different, I would take something I was already good at and get better at it. I love to cook! Cooking makes me happy and it acts as therapy for me (as long as my kids aren't running through the kitchen screaming). I want to get rid of any excuses why not to cook so, into the rabbit hole I go.

Awesome Breakfast Casserole

Breakfast casserole's are one of my favorite comfort foods. It's almost impossible to screw them up because they always turn out yummy. There's just something about eggs and sausage and peppers and cheese that is just so wonderful and when mixed together they just make a perfect dish. I first made this casserole for dinner, or brinner, because I was just craving breakfast! It was truly amazing, and hearty! One serving is plenty filling enough, although I went back for seconds. I chose to put sausage in it, but it would probably be just as good with bacon or even ham. Enjoy!

1 pound sausage
1 medium onion, diced
4 cups frozen hash browns, thawed
6 eggs, lightly beaten
2 cups shredded cheddar
1 1/2 cups cottage cheese
1 1/4 cups shredded swiss or mozzarella
1/2 cup green pepper, diced
salt and pepper to taste

Cook the sausage until browned and fully cooked, then drain. Mix everything together in a large bowl and pour into a greased 9 x 13 x 2 baking dish. Bake, uncovered, at 350 for 40 to 60 minutes until set and bubbly. Let stand for at least 10 minutes before serving.
