Breakfast Sausage Casserole

For Christmas Breakfast, I made this yummy Breakfast Sausage Casserole. It was a hit, and so easy to make, though a bit time consuming. Recipe adapted from Allrecipes.com

1 pound ground pork sausage

1 teaspoon mustard powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

4 eggs, beaten

2 cups milk

6 slices white bread, toasted and cut into cubes

8 ounces mild cheddar cheese, shredded

1) Crumble sausage into a medium skillet. Cook over medium heat until evenly brown; drain.

2) In a medium bowl, mix together mustard powder, salt, eggs and milk. Add the sausage, bread cubes, and cheese, and stir to coat evenly. Pour into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Cover, and chill in the refrigerator for 8 hours, or overnight.

3) Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F

4) Cover, and bake 45-60 minutes. Uncover, and reduce temperature to 325 degrees F. Bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until set.

This casserole was definitely a keeper, if you're a sausage lover. My little family for 4 almost finished the entire casserole in one sitting! I'll definitely be making this again. It was great to just pull it out of the refrigerator the next morning and all I had to do was pop it in the oven. Lovely breakfast.
