This is the recipe my Mother-In-Law made for Christmas morning and Easter morning. It is a delicious way to start the festivities. My Brother-in-Law called it heart attack on a plate but he always went back for seconds! If you do have left-overs, this keeps well in the fridge and even freezes well.

Ingredients

  • 8 slices bread
  • 1 1/2 pounds bulk pork sausage
  • 1 1/2 pounds cheddar cheese, shredded

How To Make caroline's breakfast casserole

  • Step 1
    Cube the bread & spread on bottom of a greased 9 x13 x 2 inch pan.
  • Step 2
    Sprinkle the cheddar cheese evenly on top of the bread.
  • Step 3
    Brown the sausage in a pan. Drain the grease & break apart the sausage.
  • Step 4
    Spread sausage on top of the cheese-bread mixture.
  • Step 5
    Beat eggs, milk, cream of mushroom soup (undiluted), mustard and chicken broth. Pour over cheese-bread-sausage mixture. (Add 1 extra egg and milk [beat it] if the bread isn’t totally covered. It’s OK if the sausage isn’t covered)
  • Step 6
    Sprinkle shredded Mexican cheese mix over the top of the casserole. This is optional but gives the casserole a great taste.
  • Step 7
    Cover and refrigerate overnight – at least 3 hours.
  • Step 8
    Bake at 350 degrees for 50 – 60 minutes. Let set for 15 minutes before serving.
