Patti's Amish Breakfast (or Sunday Supper!)

Patti’s Breakfast Casserole, Amish Style
Serves 8

INGREDIENTS:
1 pound sliced bacon
(or for convenience you can use real bacon bits)
OR 1 lb ground sausage
1 medium sweet onion, chopped
6 eggs, lightly beaten
1 package Simply Potatoes, Shredded O'Brien style
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese combo)
1 1/2 cups small curd cottage cheese

DIRECTIONS:
1. In a large skillet, cook bacon and onion until bacon is crisp; drain. 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.

Note: You can let this sit overnight & bake in the morning… but add an additional ten minutes to your baking time.
