Amish Breakfast Casserole

Ingredients:

1 pound sliced bacon, diced
1 medium onion, chopped
1-2 cloves garlic, minced
8 eggs, beaten
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
24 ounces frozen shredded hash browns, thawed
2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
12 ounces (1½ cups) small curd cottage cheese
1¼ cups Swiss cheese, shredded

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare a 9 x 13-inch baking dish by lightly coating with cooking spray.
Dice the bacon into bite-size pieces prior to cooking. In a large skillet, combine the onion and bacon and cook until bacon is crisp. Drain. Return the skillet to the stove and add the minced garlic. Stir for about 1 minute or until fragrant. Remove from stove.
In a large mixing bowl, mix together the remaining ingredients. Stir in the bacon mixture. Transfer to the prepared baking dish and bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand 5 minute before serving.
