Breakfast Casserole
I have used this many times with the ham chunks. I guess if you don't want the meat in it, just leave it out and add mushrooms extra cheeses, etc.
Breakfast Casserole
Ingredients
1 pound ground pork sausage*
10 white sandwich bread slices, cubed (6 cups)
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
6 large eggs
2 cups milk
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Preparation
Cook sausage in a skillet over medium heat, stirring until it crumbles and is no longer pink; drain well.
Place bread cubes in a lightly greased 13- x 9-inch baking dish; sprinkle bread evenly with cheese, and top with sausage.
Whisk together eggs and remaining ingredients; pour evenly over sausage mixture. Cover and chill casserole for 8 hours. (I usually let set overnight in fridge) Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes.
Bake at 350° for 45 minutes or until set. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
*2 cups cubed cooked ham may be substituted for sausage. **This can also be tweaked with mushrooms, a few diced tomatoes or whatever.
Yield
6 to 8 servings
