Sausage Egg Casserole

SUBMITTED BY: KNITWIT  PHOTO BY: Sheri O. 

"Assemble the ingredients the night before, and bake this casserole in the morning. Stand back and wait for the compliments. I've made it with fat free cottage cheese, egg substitute, and reduced fat sausage; the taste is still wonderful!"

INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 3/4 pound ground pork sausage
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 4 green onions, chopped
  • 1/2 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
  • 10 eggs, beaten
  • 1 (16 ounce) container low-fat cottage cheese
  • 1 pound Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
  • 2 (4 ounce) cans diced green chile peppers, drained
  •  
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup butter, melted

DIRECTIONS

  1. Place sausage in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until evenly brown. Drain, and set aside. Melt butter in skillet, and cook and stir the green onions and mushrooms until tender.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the eggs, cottage cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, and chiles. Stir in the sausage, green onions, and mushrooms. Cover, and refrigerate overnight.
  3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  4. In a bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Blend in the melted butter. Stir the flour mixture into the egg mixture. Pour into the prepared baking dish.
