Breakfast Casserole

For breakfast, for holidays, for a crowd, for leftovers.  It’s all good.  This cheesy sausage egg casserole is so yummy.  As Matt said, it’s like the ultimate breakfast sandwich all mixed into one.

Ingredients

• 1 pound cheddar cheese – shredded
• 10 eggs – beaten
• 2 cups milk
• 2 pounds ground sausage
• 10 slices of sandwich bread
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1 teaspoon dry mustard (can substitue 1 tablespoon of regular mustard)

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.  Brown and drain sausage.  Cut bread into 1/2 inch cubes.  Mix all ingredients in large bowl.  Spray 9×13 pan with cooking spray and pour mixture into pan.  Bake uncovered for 45 minutes. 

Notes:  Sometimes we mix different kinds of cheeses (we used half mozzarella and half sharp cheddar this morning) and sometimes we use a little more than a pound.  My kids LOVE this and I love that they’re eating something substantial.

Happy eating!
