Breakfast Casserole
Courtesy of Paula Deen-Recipe can be found in her 2008 Calendar.

This is a good breakfast dish to make when it is cold outside and you need to warm up.
This breakfast casserole is best if you make it the night before. And then all you have to do is pop it in the oven to bake.

~Ingredients~

5 Slices THICK-sliced white bread, crust and all, buttered and cubed
1 pound mild sausage, cooked, crumbled and drained
3 cups grated extra-sharp cheddar cheese
4 eggs
2 cups of milk
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon hot sauce

1. Spray a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish with vegetable-oil cooking spray. Place the bread cubes in the casserole. Evenly distribute the sausage over the bread cubes. Sprinkle evenly with cheese. Combine the eggs, milk, mustard, sald and hot sauce, mix well. Pour Egg mixture over the bread. Cover with plastc wrap and refrigerate overnight.

2. The next morning, remove the casserole from the refrigerator and allow it to sit on the counter for 15 mintues while you preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Remove the plastic wrap, place the casserole in the oven and bake for 1 hour.
