This hearty sausage casserole features savory Italian sausage, tender potatoes, and a rich blend of cottage cheese, cheddar, and eggs. The dish is slowly simmered, allowing the flavors to meld together and create a comforting, casserole-like texture. The sausage adds a delightful umami taste, while the onions provide a subtle sweetness that complements the creamy, cheesy elements of the dish.

The Sausage Casserole, with its rich and savory flavors from the Italian sausage, pairs well with a full-bodied red wine like Tannat. The bold tannins and robust nature of Tannat complement the umami taste of the sausage, while its acidity cuts through the richness of the butter, cottage cheese, and cheddar in the casserole. Alternatively, a medium-bodied white Malvasia could provide a refreshing contrast to the dish.
