Martha’s Breakfast Casserole
Description
This casserole combines thawed shredded hashbrowns with a mix of cooked sausage, bacon, and ham, which provide a variety of savory flavors and textures. Cottage cheese and eggs bind the ingredients while shredded cheddar cheese adds richness. Green chiles bring a mild heat and subtle depth, enhanced by dried onion for aroma.
Baked uncovered at moderate oven temperature until set and lightly browned, the dish forms a firm but tender texture suitable for cutting into portions. The combination of proteins and potatoes delivers a satisfying and filling meal, ideal for mornings when a substantial dish is desired.
Leftovers keep well when refrigerated in an airtight container. This casserole is suitable for preparing in advance, including freezing raw for later baking. It can be served with sour cream, salsa, or guacamole for added creaminess and fresh contrast.
