Breakfast Casserole

While we were visiting with our son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren on our vacation our daughter-in-law served this breakfast casserole one morning. It is one of those wonderful recipes that is put together the evening before, refrigerated overnight, and baked the next morning. I love this one because it has lots of cheese, bacon and sausage in it making it a very filling and satisfying start to a busy day, which all of our days were. I have never made this recipe but I have eaten it twice, and I can attest to how good it is! Blessings...

Recipe:

10 slices white bread (trimmed)
1 lb. Jimmy Dean Hot Sausage, fried and crumbled (see note)
1/2 lb. bacon, fried and crumbled
1/2 lb. sharp cheddar cheese, grated
6 eggs, beaten to blend
3 cups milk
1/2 tsp. salt

1. Layer in 9 x 13-inch pan bread, sausage, bacon, and cheese.
2. Mix eggs, milk, and salt; pour over casserole.
3. Cover and let stand in the refrigerator overnight.
4. Remove cover and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 40 to 60 minutes or until set.
5. Remove from oven and let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Yield: 12 servings
Note: the hot sausage is needed for flavor and does not add undue spiciness. It is wonderful!
