Holiday Breakfast Strata

What does your family have for Christmas breakfast?    We always have the same breakfast casserole and we all look forward to it because it is so good!   What makes it even better is that you make it the day before and just put it in the oven and you have an easy no mess breakfast.

Sausage Strata 

1 pound ground pork sausage 

6 slices buttered bread, cubed (white bread works best)

2 cups shredded colby jack cheese

6 eggs

2 cups milk 

1 teaspoon salt 

1 teaspoon dry mustard 

Place sausage in a large, deep skillet.   Cook over medium-high heat until evenly brown.   Drain and set aside.

Sprinkle the cubed bread into a 7X11 baking dish.   In a bowl, beat together the eggs, milk, salt, and mustard.   Pour the egg mixture over the bread cubes in the baking dish.   Cover well and refrigerate overnight.  

Remove the casserole from the refrigerator 30 minutes before you want to begin cooking it

Bake at 350 degrees for 75 minutes.
