this casserole is a beautiful display of all things protein: eggs, cheese, sausage, cottage cheese...if the last one frightens you (people love it or hate it!) do not be afraid. the strangely textured dairy product will not be detected.
casseroles are wonderful things to take to a potluck style event. or if you are entertaining several people for breakfast. if you've ever tried to make breakfast for a big group of guest, you may have noticed how stressful it becomes. whether it be preventing burnt waffles or pancakes, or attempting to create the perfectly fluffy scrambled egg while trying not to burn yourself in bacon grease...flustered is often a feeling that becomes me. for this reason, i often turn to the breakfast casserole. you can put it together the night before and cook in the morning. just slice up some fruit, brew some coffee, and enjoy your guests :)
for this breakfast casserole, chop up a medium onion and green pepper. saute with about a pound of turkey sausage (remove casing if using links) and cook until no longer pink. remove from heat and drain. in a seperate bowl, combine 16 ounces of cottage cheese (low-fat), 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, 1 1/2 cups of egg substitute, 1 cup skim milk, 1 cup reduced fat biscuit/baking mix, and a 4 ounce can of chopped green chili's. add this mixture to the sausage/pepper/onion mixture and stir it up. add to a 13 x 9 inch baking dish coated with nonstick spray. bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes.
