Breakfast Casserole, anyone?
This wonderful casserole was one that I took from my mother. It is so simple and yummy!
You can change it to suit your tastebuds and it won't alter a thing. I usually make this and then package up several containers for the freezer. It is great for those mornings you are crazing a hot breakfast but don't have the time to make one. Just pop in the microwave for a minute and presto!
This is great for a family gathering, brunch or breakfast for dinner. One of my favorite dinners! I am going to share this recipe with you so that you all can taste the yumminess of this dish. Be adventurous with this dish. I have not had a bad casserole yet!
1 lb. pork sausage or ham (I like the HOT variety of sausage)
8 eggs
3c. milk
10 slices of bread, cubed (I use whatever I have on hand and sometimes several kinds)
1-1/2 to 2 c. shredded cheese, your choice (I use swiss mainly.)
2 tbsp. melted butter
2 tbsp. dry mustard or 1 tsp regular mustard
1-1/2 tbsp minced dry or fresh onion
1 c. sliced mushrooms, optional (use whatever veggies you like)
1 tsp dried parsley
Place cubed bread into a greased 9x13 baking dish.
Brown and drain sausage or just cube ham.
Beat eggs.
Add cheese, milk, mustard and spices to beaten eggs. Mix together.
Place browned crumbled sausage over bread.
Pour liquid mixture over sausage and bread.
Pour/Sprinkle melted butter over the top of ingredients.
Cover with plastic wrap.
Refrigerate overnight.
Remove casserole from refrigerator approx. a half hour before baking.
Bake uncovered at 325-350 degrees for 50-60 minutes; until set.
