Although
most of my posts are about dinner and dessert I wanted to bring you guys a post
featuring a different meal. Breakfast. This recipe is one of my favorites for a
holiday morning or an afternoon brunch. This recipe is more than enough for one
person and although this blog is about food for four people this is a great
chance to invite the extended family over for something new and enjoy the whole
family.
Breakfast
Casserole
Yields: 8-12
servings Prep
Time: 1 Hour Cook
Time: 1 Hour
2
Pounds of Bob Evans Sausage
4
Eggs
2
Cups of Milk
¼
Tsp. of Dried Mustard
1
Loaf of Italian Bread
4
Cups of Cheddar Cheese
The
first thing that needs to be done in order to prep for this meal is to cut the
crusts off of the Italian bread and cut the bread into one inch cubes. After
you need to brown the ground meat and drain off the grease.
Now
spray down a 9 x 13 and layer the bread, cooked sausage and the cheese in the
pan. Now you’ll need to mix the eggs, milk and dried mustard in a bowl and pour
that mixture over the bread, sausage, and cheese mixture. Refrigerate the
mixture over night. And allow the bread to soak up that mixture.
Finally
it’s time to cook. Bake your casserole in the oven at 350 degrees for fifty
minutes with foil over it keeping the moisture in and locking in that goodness.
With 10 minutes remaining remove the foil and allow the top to crisp up.
A
lot of the recipes that I deal with are actually recipes that have either been
passed down through the family or found on the internet and tweaked to how my
family and I like them. I hope you guys do the same thing and add your own
twist to each recipe.
My family used to make this all the time when I was a kid! I used to help cut/tear up the bread. However, we always just used plain white bread, not Italian bread, and therefore we didn't need to cut off the crusts. Do you think that that would make a big difference in the flavor or consistency? I may have to try it with different bread instead sometime.
ReplyDeleteThis recipe sounds good. How well does it store and reheat. I have a small group to prepare food for and there is no way we would get through 8-12 servings in one sitting.
ReplyDeleteCassie I don't think that the type of bread makes a big difference. Both will absorb the liquid just the same. the only difference will be the size of the chunks. Kevin this reheats great you can reheat in either the oven or the microwave. You might also be able to half the recipe and make a smaller batch in a smaller dish like an 8 x 8 pan for example.
ReplyDeleteThe 2 hour total time to make this meal would encourage me to have this for dinner. It sounds delicious.
ReplyDeleteIt takes a little time to prepare but you could prepare this the night before that way you only have put it in the oven to cook for an hour. That's what I usually do that way i don't have to get up at 6 to have breakfast at 8.
ReplyDeleteI love a good breakfast casserole! This one sounds delicious!
