Cowboy Breakfast Casserole

wtorek, 4 lutego 2014

12 slices bread
2 cups cheddar cheese or 2 cups colby or 16 slices American cheese
1 lb ham, chopped (any breakfast meat would work) or 1 lb sausage (any breakfast meat would work)
2 cups milk or 8 ounces sour cream or 8 ounces yogurt
6 large eggs
1 teaspoon ground mustard
salt and pepper

1 Line a 9x13 greased pan with 8 slices of bread and top with half of the cheese.
2 Sprinkle meat over cheese. You could also use any other type of meat you prefer. Turkey bacon cooked and crumbled is good too!
3 Mix eggs, milk or sour cream or yogurt, ground mustard, and salt and pepper in a bowl until well blended and pour over cheese.
4 Top with the rest of the cheese and 8 more slices of bread, pressing down so the egg bubbles up and moistens it a little.
5 Spray top of bread with butter flavored cooking spray or spread with a little butter covering the whole surface of the bread.
6 Cover and refrigerate overnight. Bake at 350 F for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until the middle of casserole looks cooked. Knife inserted in middle will come out with melted cheese but not with \u2018wet\u2019 egg when done.
7 Note: Like I said I made this recipe up for my meat and taters cowboy but you can add mushrooms, onions, green pepper etc. if desired. Just throw it into the meat layer.
