Breakfast: Breakfast Casserole

From Shelly Carey (from Southern Living)

Ingredients
1 lb ground pork sausage (Bob Evans mild sausage) *
10 white sandwich bread slices, cubed (Pepperidge Farms Italian bread)
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
6 large eggs
2 cups milk
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Directions:
Cook sausage in a skillet over medium heat, stirring until it crumbles and is no longer pink. Drain well.

Place bread cubes in a lightly greased 13 X 9 inch baking dish; sprinkle bread evenly with cheese, and top with sausage.

Whisk together eggs and remaining ingredients; pour evenly over sausage mixture. Cover and chill casserole for 8 hours. Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes.

Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until set. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

Yield: 6-8 servings.

* - Substitute 2 cups cubed cooked ham for sausage, if desired.
