Amish Breakfast Casserole
Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cups shredded hashbrowns
- 1 1/2 cups cottage cheese
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions:
Step 1: Brown the Meat
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and onion until the beef is browned and the onion turns translucent. Drain any excess grease.
Step 2: Mix the Filling
In a large bowl, combine the cooked beef mixture with the hashbrowns, cottage cheese, and 1 1/2 cups of cheddar cheese (set aside the remaining 1/2 cup for later).
Step 3: Make the Egg Blend
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Step 4: Combine and Assemble
Pour the egg mixture into the beef and hashbrown mixture. Stir gently until everything is evenly coated. Transfer the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Step 5: Bake to Perfection
Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top turns beautifully golden.
Step 6: Cool and Serve
Let the casserole rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy a cozy, satisfying breakfast that’s sure to please everyone at the table.
