Breakfast Casserole

There aren't many breakfast casseroles that I like, but this one is definitely a winner! It can be assembled the night before, covered, and stored in the refrigerator overnight for a quick meal in the morning. It reheats well in the microwave also.

Ingredients:

1 (16 oz) package pork sausage
10 eggs, lightly beaten
3 C milk
1 tsp salt
5 slices white bread, cubed
2 C sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 C diced red pepper
sliced green onion

Directions:

1.) Cook sausage and drain any fat.

2.) Whisk together eggs, milk, and salt.

3.) In a 9x13 pan, layer 1/2 bread cubes, 1/2 cheese, 1/2 black pepper, 1/2 red pepper, 1/2 sausage. Repeat layers.

4.) Top with green onion.

5.) Pour egg mixture evenly over casserole.

6.) Bake at 325 degrees for 55-60 minutes or until eggs are set.

Serves 8.
