Christmas Breakfast Casserole

Makes: 9 x 13 pan (which serves 8 or 12 depending on how hungry you are!)

  • 10 slices of bread; diced up
  • 1 pound package Jimmy Dean sausage; browned & drained
  • 2 C. potatoes; peeled, diced and cooked until half-way softened (can be added to sausage to cook)
  • 1/2 medium onion; diced
  • 1/2 medium green bell pepper; diced
  • 2 C. milk
  • 8 eggs
  • 1 T Worcestershire
  • 1 tesp. dry mustard
  • 3 C. shredded cheese (colby-jack or cheddar)

Dice up bread and place in bottom of glass 9x13 pan.

Brown the sausage. Peel and cut up potatoes, add to sausage to soften up a bit. Drain off grease.

In a large bowl beat eggs, whisk in milk, Worcestershire, dry mustard. Dice up onion and green pepper. Add veggies, potatoes, and sausage to egg mixture.

Pour over top of bread. Top with shredded cheese.

Better if refrigerated overnight before baking.

Bake covered in foil for 1 hour @ 350 degrees. Uncover for the last 20 minutes.

This is a close variation of the dish we always have for breakfast on Christmas morning. I'm not usually a big fan of egg, but this one is very good with all the other ingredients.

We like to have this with our favorite Christmas Citrus Salad.
