Cheesy Sausage, Broccoli & Brown Rice Casserole

Another Bitchin’ Camero spesh – slightly altered. I love me my casseroles! 

5 cups cooked brown rice
Some cottage cheese to bind
2 large heads broccoli, coarsely chopped
4 hot Italian sausages, cooked my way
1 jalapeno  
1 1/2 cups skim milk (I used skim)
4 eggs
2 cups shredded extra old cheddar 
1 cup breadcrumbs 
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Preheat the oven to 400°. In your biggest casserole dish toss the brown rice with the cottage cheese. Press into the casserole dish. Add the chopped broccoli evenly over top, repet with cooked sausage and chopped jalapeno. 

Whisk the milk, eggs and garlic salt together in a separate bowl. Stir in the cheddar cheese and pour over the casserole dish. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs and Parmesan in an even layer over the top.

Bake for 35 mins, or until the middle is set & the top and sides are golden brown.
