{breakfast casserole}

This is a recipe I got from my Mom. We have this on Christmas morning. Everyone loves it and we always end up saying we should have made more.

1 lb. sausage
9-10 slices of bread with crust cut off and cut/torn into inch squares
6 eggs
2 c. milk
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. mustard
8 oz. grated cheddar cheese

Brown sausage, drain and allow to cool. Place cut up bread in a 9x13 greased pan. Beat eggs, milk, salt, and mustard together in a large bowl. Stir in cheese and sausage. Pour over bread making sure all bread is covered. Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight. Bake for 50-60 min. in a preheated oven @ 350 degrees. Test with knife to see if done.

**Can substitute cooked, broken up bacon instead of sausage. Can also add other ingredient such us cooked cut up potatoes, onions, or green peppers.
