Easter Brunch Casserole

I thought I would share one of my favorite recipes with you this morning. I got this recipe from my cousin Susie, years and years ago. I only make it once a year - for Easter Brunch. It's so yummy! Enjoy!

Easter Brunch Casserole

10-12 slices of bread, buttered and cubed
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
2 lbs. cooked bulk sausage
10 oz. cheddar cheese, grated
6-8 large eggs
3 cups heavy cream
3/4 tsp. dry mustard
Salt & Pepper, to taste

Sprinkle cubed bread with garlic powder; place in 13" greased baking pan. Cover w/ sausage and sprinkle cheese over all. In separate bowl, beat eggs; add cream, mustard, salt and pepper and beat well. Pour egg mixture over bread, sausage and cheese. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Bake in preheated oven at 350 degrees for appx 1 hour or until knife blade comes out clean.

Let me know what you think about this recipe. If you have any questions, just let me know. For the bread, I now use a loaf of italian bread (which I get from Fred Meyer Bakery) which makes it even scrumier! Yum, Yum!

Happy Spring!

Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...
