What Is an Amish Casserole?

Ingredients You Need for Amish Casserole
The other terrific thing about this Amish Casserole recipe is that you can use it as a template and truly make it your own. Maybe you have the shredded variety of frozen potatoes like hash browns. That will work fine. Or, swap out the sausage for Italian sausage or even bacon. If your family doesn't enjoy cottage cheese, I think mozzarella cheese would taste fantastic here. You could even add whatever vegetables you need to use from the crisper drawer. The possibilities are endless!
