Need a good recipe for a breakfast casserole? Do I have one for you! I have made several different breakfast casseroles over the years, but this one is my all-time favorite (and my kids will eat it).
Two things to know about it. One, it’s kind of spicy because it has pepper-jack cheese in it, but don’t let that scare you off. And, two, I cook it a lot longer than the recipe calls for. All the eggs and cheese in it make it moist inside and I like eggs that are really well done.
It’s probably not that great for you, but it sure is awesome. So eat a small piece with a big helping of fruit (uhhh, not pictured).
INGREDIENTS
- 1.5 lbs. of sausage, cooked and drained
- 1/4 cup of minced onions (cook with sausage)
- 1 tsp. dry hot mustard
- 2 cups of 1/2 and ½
- 1 cup of milk
- 2 cups of shredded pepper-jack cheese
- 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 5 oz box of herb-seasoned croutons
- 8 eggs
- cooking spray
DIRECTIONS
Spray a 9 x 13 pan (glass or regular pan) with Pam. Place the croutons in the bottom of the pan. Top with cheese then cooked sausage and onions. Beat eggs with milk, 1/2 and 1/2, dry hot mustard, and add salt and pepper to taste. Pour over the top of other items in pan. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Bake covered with foil at 350° for 15 minutes, uncover and bake an additional 30-45 minutes until done.
I am pretty sure this recipe came from my mom’s sister, so thanks Aunt Missy!
MMMMmmmmmm. Mouth watering!
I may be making this this weekend, leftovers would be great for lunch too. Maybe not on the diet but hey, its the holidays!
Is dry hot mustard the same thing as dry mustard?
Dry mustard is what I use. I left it dry hot mustard in the recipe because that’s how it was when I got it. So glad you are gonna make it. It’s totally good. Just cook it a lot. My dad even microwaves his after I cut him a piece to make sure it’s firm and not mushy. Deeeee-lish. Let me know what you think.
