Louisiana Morning Sweet Potato Breakfast Casserole

Cooking spray
3 cups sweet potato cubes, cooked
1/2 cup milk
15 ounces egg beaters
1/4 cup maple syrup (pure works best)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
3 frozen brown and serve sausage patties
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
1 cup cottage cheese

While preheating oven to 350 degrees, use cooking spray to grease an 8x8 inch glass baking dish.
Peel the sweet potatoes and cube them. In a microwave safe bowl with 1/4 inch water, cook the sweet potatoes for 4-5 minutes on high. Drain the potatoes and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, maple syrup, salt and pepper. Now add the sweet potatoes, sausage, 1/4 cup of the cheddar cheese and cottage cheese and mix together. Pour into the baking dish. 
Bake for 1 1/4 hour (75 min) or until knife inserted into the middle comes out clean. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over top and continue to bake until cheese is melted.
