Amish Breakfast Casserole

I made this for Christmas morning and it was fantastic! I like my breakfast casseroles to have potatoes in them and this was by far the best one I've had yet. I substituted cooked Jimmy Dean Maple sausage links in place of the bacon which my gallbladder hates and omitted onion. Do not skip the cottage cheese. Even if your family doesn't like it, you'll never taste it BUT it does add to the creaminess and set up of the dish!!
