Breakfast Sausage Casserole

By á-10966

Assemble this Breakfast Sausage Casserole the night before and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight. Tastes great and is worth the effort and wait!

Ingredients

• Butter, for greasing
• 1/2 loaf sliced white bread
• 1 pound fresh bulk pork sausage with sage
• 10 ounces sharp Cheddar, grated
• 2 cups half and half
• 1 teaspoon dry mustard
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 5 large eggs, lightly beaten

Preparation

Step 1

Cut the bread into 1 inch cubes and spread in the bottom of a greased 9x13x2 inch casserole dish.

In a medium skillet, brown the sausage over medium heat until fully cooked and no longer pink. Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon to drain the fat. Spread the cooked sausage over the bread and top with the cheese.

Then stir together the, half and half, dry mustard, salt and eggs. Pour this mixture over the cheese. Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.

The next day, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Bake the covered casserole until set and slightly golden, about 50 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow the casserole to set for 15 minutes before serving.
