Prep Time: 15 Minutes
Cook Time: 35 Minutes
Ready In: 50 Minutes
Servings: 12


INGREDIENTS:

1 pound sliced bacon, diced (I used 1 lb maple breakfast sausage, as many suggested, and it was scrumptious)
1 medium sweet onion, chopped (Used more like 1/2 an onion)
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. In a large skillet, cook bacon and onion until bacon is crisp; drain. (Or cook sausage until about half way done then add in onion and finish cooking.) In a bowl, combine 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.

(I don't really think this needed extra cheese for taste, but you could sprinkle the top with shredded cheese if you want it to have more of a golden finish. I did sprinkle fresh Parmesan on mine. The cottage cheese really keeps it moist and light compared to many other starchy potato casseroles I've had.)
