Easy Breakfast Casserole

This is great for a nice family breakfast or maybe a brunch with friends.  You can use whatever kind of breakfast meat you have on hand to make it even easier.  I've made it with sausage, diced ham, and bacon, and they were all good! 

Easy Breakfast Casserole:

Ingredients:
3/4 lb ground pork sausage
1 tbsp butter
1/4 cup diced onion
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms (you may substitute canned)
10 eggs
1 (16 oz.) container low-fat cottage cheese
1 lb shredded monterey jack cheese (or whatever cheese you like)
1 (4 oz) can diced green chili peppers
1 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 cup butter, melted


Directions:
1.  Brown sausage in large skillet; drain.  Melt 1 tbsp of butter in skillet and add mushrooms and onion and cook until tender.
2.  In a large bowl mix the eggs, cheeses, and chilies.  Stir in the sausage, onions, mushrooms, and melted butter. 
3.  In a separate bowl mix the flour, baking powder, and salt.  Stir into the egg mixture until well blended. 
4.  Pour into a greased 9 x 13 inch baking dish.  Bake at 350 degrees for 40-50 minutes or until lightly browned.  Let stand 10 minutes before serving to set up.
