sausage

🥗Healthier: turkey sausage

Turkey sausage is lower in fat and calories.

Slice and dice 1 pound of bacon.

Chop 1 medium sweet onion.

Beat 6 large eggs lightly.

Combine 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, 1.5 cups cottage cheese, and 1.25 cups shredded swiss cheese in a bowl.

Switch to a wooden spoon and mix the cheeses together until well blended.

Chop the bacon and onion on the same cutting board for convenience.

Heat a pan until hot before adding the bacon and onion to ensure non-stick cooking.

Cook the bacon and onion together until the bacon is crispy, stirring occasionally.

Drain excess grease from the cooked bacon and onion mixture.

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Spray a 9x13 baking dish with non-stick spray.

Mix all ingredients together in the baking dish, smoothing it out evenly.

Bake in the oven for about 35-40 minutes, checking for doneness.

Check if the casserole is done by inserting a knife in the middle; it should come out clean.

Let the casserole cool for about 10 minutes before cutting into slices.
