Make Ahead Breakfast Casserole

Ingredients 
  • 1 (16 oz) package pork sausage
  • 10 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 3 cups milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 6 cups cubed bread
  • 2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 diced red pepper, optional

Butter a 9 x 13 x 2 inch casserole dish. 

In a large skillet, cook sausage over medium-high heat, stirring frequently until thoroughly cooked and no longer pink. 

In large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and salt until thoroughly combined. 

Evenly distribute half the bread into the prepared casserole dish. Sprinkle with half the cheese, half the black pepper, half the red pepper, and half the sausage. Repeat layers. 

Pour egg mixture evenly over casserole. 

Cover and refrigerate overnight, or bake immediately. 

When you're ready to bake the casserole, preheat oven to 325 F. Bake uncovered for 55-60 minutes, or until eggs are set. 

Serve warm. Enjoy!
