Mom's make ahead breakfast casserole

8 slices whole wheat bread, stale works well or toast lightly
32 ounces Bob Evans original pork sausage, (cooked and drained yields 24 ounces)
2 cups shredded cheese
2 cups milk
8 large eggs

I cool it then cut lengthwise down the center and then make 6 cuts width-wise. I place the 12 pieces in a plastic container. 6 on the bottom layer of wax paper six on the top and put it in the fridge. The kids grab a slice and heat it for breakfast or for a high protein snack.

Cut crusts off bread if desired and cut or tear into bite size pieces. Spray a 13 x 9 casserole and place bread in bottom. Sprinkle half the cheese. Spread the cooked and drained sausage over bread. Beat eggs and milk and pour over mixture. Sprinkle remainder of cheese on top. Can be seasoned with Salt and pepper to taste. I also add a few spices. You can cover and refrigerate over night at this point or make sure all bread is soaked and then bake at 350 for 35 minutes.

Serving Size: Makes 12 slices from a 13 x 9 pan

Number of Servings: 12
