Re: Entrees/Main Dishes
I just made this last night (for the 4th time...and it's sooo good & easy I thought I'd post it, even though it's called "breakfast" casserole, I make it for lunch & dinner too)
Amish Breakfast Casserole (Bread free)
Prep Time: 15 Minutes
Cook Time: 35 Minutes
Ready In: 50 Minutes
Servings: 12
NOTE: I've made it with the bacon, then 2x with ham & w/out any meat at all, -it was great every time. I should mention I'm not typically a swiss cheese fan & if you aren't either, go ahead & use it, it really does seem to give it a great odor & taste, but not overpoweringly so. I've doubled this recipe with great success. Also, I add some red pepper & pepper, or sometimes a few dashes of hot sauce. A can of green chilies would be good too for those who want more savory spice.
INGREDIENTS:
1 lb sliced bacon, diced
1 med sweet onion, diced (I use o'brien hash browns & skip this step!)
6 eggs, lightly beaten
4 cups frozen shredded hash brown
potatoes, thawed
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
1 1/2 cups small curd cottage cheese
1 1/4 cups shredded Swiss cheese
DIRECTIONS:
1. Cook your bacon (or chop up ham, if using.) Combine all ingredients, add in bacon or ham (a combo of both would be tasty too, I should think.) Transfer to a greased 13x9x2in. baking dish. Or line with parchment paper, like I do - makes clean up soo easy.
2. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees F for about 35-40 mins or till it's set and bubbly. Cool for 10 mins before cutting.
Hope you enjoy!
