Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

  2. Place sausage in a large skillet and pour in about 1/4 inch of water, cook sausage over medium heat until water evaporates and sausages are evenly browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Crumble cooked sausages into a bowl.

  3. Mix sweet potatoes and butter together in a bowl, evenly spread into the bottom of the prepared 9x13-inch dish.

  4. Stir Cheddar-mozzarella cheese blend, onion, spinach, cottage cheese, eggs, and crumbled sausage together in a large bowl, spoon over sweet potato layer.

  5. Bake casserole in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and eggs are set, about 1 hour. Cool 5 minutes before serving.
