A delicious and easy breakfast casserole with a little bit of spice.
Preheat oven to 350°
Grease a 9"x13" baking dish.
Brown breakfast sausage in skillet. Drain and allow to cool slightly.
In a large bowl melt butter in microwave. To that bowl, with melted butter, add eggs, flour, baking powder and salt. Mix well. Stir in chilies, cottage cheese, shredded cheese and cooked sausage. Mix well and put into prepared baking dish.
Bake uncovered for 45-60 minutes or until the center is set and the top is slightly browned. Cool 10 minutes before serving.
This may be baked and then frozen. Thaw then reheat in 350° oven covered with foil for about 10-15 minutes.
Shredding your own cheese will make a cheesier texture. Pre-shredded cheese is coated with anti-caking ingredients which prevent it from melting properly.
