Breakfast Casserole


We eat this every Christmas morning. It is perfect for brunch, but we often just have it for dinner. I love that it can be made the night before. It is much easier then my plan to make homemade cinnamon rolls every Christmas (which I am going to do eventually). Besides Hayden will eat anything with breakfast sausage in it. He loves sausage. It is disgusting to watch him eat it.

Here is the recipe:


Ingredients

* 1 lb of Italian pork sausage, (then cooked, drained, crumbled)
* 4 1/2 cups cubed bread (we use good thick bread)
* 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
* 10 eggs slightly beaten
* 4 cups whole milk
* 1 tsp dry mustard
* 1 tsp salt
* 1/4 tsp onion powder
* Fresh ground pepper to taste

Place bread in a well buttered 9x13 inch baking pan. Sprinkle with cheese. Combine the eggs, milk, dry mustard, onion powder and pepper. Pour evenly over the bread and cheese. Sprinkle sausage and optional ingredients over the top.

cover and chill overnight

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Bake uncovered for about one hour. (I top it with extra cheddar towards the end)
