This dish was originally made by one woman at church and shared at many breakfast pitch-ins. Soon almost every woman in church was making it and sharing it. It is still a favorite dish at church breakfasts. Personally, my family loves it and I make it every chance I get. It can be put together the night before, refrigerated overnight and cooked upon arising in the morning. Leftovers, if there are any can be easily frozen in individual portions and reheated in a microwave.It is an easy delicious and nutritious breakfast dish.

How to Make Cheesey-Egg Breakfast Casserole

Step-by-Step

Use butter/margerine to litely grease 9x13 inch baking dish. lay bread slices side by side in a single layer to cover bottom of baking dish. In a skillet, brown sausage and cook bacon until crisp.Break sausage up into bits, cool bacon & crumble. Place both in a bowl & set aside.
Sprinkle sausage,bacon, & ham over bread as evenly as possible. Evenly spread shredded chese over top of meat. Crack eggs into separate bowl. BEATslightly beat with fork and then add milk to eggs and stir together. Pour egg/milk mixtureslowly over bread/meat/cheese layers being careful not to create egg mixture only pockets in casserole.
If not going to cook right away,tightly cover and store prepared casserole in refrigerater until ready to cook[up to a few hours is OK.]Preheat oven to 325degrees. Place uncovered casserole in preheated oven and bAKE AT 325 FOR 1 HOUR OR UNTIL CHEESEY TOP IS GOLDEN. CASSEROLE WILL PUFF UP SOME WHEN BAKING. LET COOL A WHILE UNTIL MIXTURE HAS COLLASPED A LITTLE AND SET UP enough. SO PORTIONS WILL RETAIN SHAPE WHEN CUT AND SERVED. CUT INTO 8-10 PORTIONS AND SERVE WARM.
lEFTOVER SERVINGS CAN BE WRAPPED IN PLASTIC WRAPOR PLACED IN FREEZER CONTAINER AND FROZEN for up to a MONTH BEFORE REHEATING. BON APPETIT!!!
