Ingredients:

• 1 pound Kinikin pork sausage
• 3 cups shredded potatoes, drained and pressed
• ¼ cup butter, melted
• 1 (16 ounce) container small curd cottage cheese
• 12 ounces mild Cheddar cheese, shredded
• ½ cup onion, shredded
• 6 jumbo eggs

1. Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Heat a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Cook sausage in the hot skillet until evenly browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease.
3. Stir together shredded potatoes and butter in the prepared baking dish; lightly press mixture into the bottom and sides of the dish.
4. Mix together sausage, cottage cheese, Cheddar cheese, onion, and eggs in a bowl. Pour over potato mixture.
5. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of casserole comes out clean, about 1 hour. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
