Ingredients

• 12 eggs, beaten
• 2 cups finely chopped onion
• 5 pounds bulk country sausage
• 5 pounds potatoes, peeled and cut into small cubes
• 2 cups finely chopped celery

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Heat a large pot over low heat. Cook sausage, stirring regularly, in the hot pot until completely browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain fat from sausage and return pot to heat.

Step 3

Stir potatoes, celery, and onion into the sausage; cook, stirring often, until the potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes.

Step 4

Transfer sausage mixture to a large roasting pan. Beat eggs, marjoram, and parsley together; pour over the sausage mixture and stir. Fold bread cubes into the pork mixture. Cover pan with aluminum foil.

Step 5

Roast in preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking until no longer moist on top, about 15 minutes more.
