Amish Breakfast Casserole

3 kinds of cheese?? Yum! This is so good. I made a few tweaks, noted with the *. Recipe from allrecipes.com

Ingredients

1 pound sliced bacon, diced (*I used one honey ham steak, diced, instead of bacon)

1 sweet onion, chopped

(*I added 2 cloves minced garlic)

4 cups frozen shredded hash brown potatoes, thawed

9 eggs, lightly beaten

2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese

1 1/2 cups small curd cottage cheese

1 1/4 cups shredded Swiss cheese

(*I added one diced bell pepper--any color--and chopped greens--spinach, chard, arugula)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; cook and stir bacon and onion until bacon is evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain. (*I cooked the onion with a little bit of olive oil for about 10 min, adding the garlic for the last couple minutes) Transfer bacon and onion to a large bowl. Stir in potatoes, eggs, Cheddar cheese, cottage cheese, and Swiss cheese (*also add the peppers and greens, with a little salt and pepper). Stir to combine. Pour mixture into prepared baking dish.

Bake in preheated oven until eggs are set and cheese is melted, 45 to 50 minutes (*I ended up cooking it for 60 minutes, stick a knife in the middle to make sure it comes out clean). Let stand 10 minutes before cutting and serving.
