Egg & Sausage Casserole

I just made this for brunch recently - it's my grandma's recipe.

Recipe

9 eggs

1 lb. bulk sausage

1 1/2 C. shredded cheddar

1 1/2 tsp. dry mustard

1 tsp salt

3 slices white bread, cut into 1/4" cubes

3 C. milk

Brown sausage and drain.  Mix eggs, milk, mustard and salt.  Stir in bread, sausage and cheese.  Pour into greased 9x13 pan.  Cover and refrigerate overnight.  Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 1 hour or until knife inserted comes out clean.  Do not stir casserole once it has sat in the fridge.  Lower temperature by 25 degrees for a glass baking dish.

Comments

 - I used Jimmy Dean regular sausage, but a hot & spicy sausage would also be good.  You could probably sub turkey sausage too.

 - I've made casseroles like this with whole wheat bread and I don't think the flavor is as good.  Wheat bread gives the casserole a sweeter flavor.  I bought a loaf of white bread at Target and now I have all but 3 slices left...who eats white bread?!?
