Breakfast Casserole

Here is the recipe for the breakfast casserole that I brought to the Sunday School breakfast this week. It is a great recipe for breakfast or brunch when you have family in town because you can make it the night before and just stick it in the oven the next morning. Great for the Christmas holidays - easy and YUMMY!

1 pound sausage (I use hot sausage)
4-6 slices of bread
8 eggs
2 cups milk
1 cup grated cheese (I use a little more)
1 tsp salt
Pepper to taste
Butter

Brown sausage and drain well. Butter bread and place buttered side down in a 9 x 13 pan to cover the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle sausage on top of bread, and sprinkle cheese on top of sausage. Mix eggs, milk, salt, and pepper together and pour on top of sausage and cheese mixture. Let sit in refridgerator overnight. Bake at 350 for 35-45 minutes (until cooked through and slightly browning on top). Serve and enjoy.
