How to Make Alea S Meat Lover S Hashbrown Casserole
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 13x9-inch baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, whisk 6 large eggs.
- Add 1 cup small curd cottage cheese, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, and ¼ teaspoon garlic powder to the eggs. Stir until well combined.
- In a large bowl, combine 4 cups shredded hash browns (thawed and squeezed dry), 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, 1 ½ cups diced ham (or sausage, or a combination), and ½ cup chopped onion.
- Pour the egg mixture over the hash brown mixture and gently stir to combine. Do not overmix.
- Pour the hash brown mixture into the prepared casserole dish.

- Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until golden brown and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.

- Serve warm. Delicious with fresh fruit and a side salad (or bacon, if you're feeling adventurous!).
