Breakfast Casserole - Easy, $8/family

*Freezer club: defrost 24 hours in advance in refrigerator. Bake as directed below. I tripled  the recipe for 6 families in freezer club.

6 eggs
1/2 cup flour
1 cup milk
1 tsp baking powder
3 oz. cream cheese
8 oz. small curd cottage cheese
6-10 oz. grated Monterrey jack cheese
6 oz. grated mild cheddar cheese
1 lb. jimmy dean sausage (cook, crumble, drain)
1/8 tsp salt
3 tbsp. butter

In large bowl beat eggs with a whisk.  Add flour, baking powder & milk.  Cut cream cheese into small cubes.Add cream cheese cubes & cottage cheese to egg mixture.  Add remaining ingredients (except butter) to mixture. Butter bottom & sides of a 9x13 casserole dish & pour mixture in.  Dot with small pieces of butter. Sprinkle lightly with paprika if desired.  Cover and refrigerate overnight.  Next morning bring to room temperature and bake at 350 for 45 minutes.  (I rarely actually bring it to room temp...)
