Egg and Sausage Breakfast Casserole

We live about five hours from our families, so that means our visits are at least several days at a time, which means we get to enjoy some of Mom's delicious breakfasts!
This is a great casserole she makes when we're there.

Here's the recipe she uses:

1 lb. sausage (Jimmy Dean is my favorite)
6 eggs
2 cups of milk
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. dry mustard
4 slices of bread, torn into small pieces
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Directions:
Cook sausage. Drain.
In a separate bowl, beat together eggs, milk, salt, and dry mustard.
Layer bread, sausage, 1 cup of cheese, egg mixture, then the other cup of cheese in a 9x13 baking dish. Cover. Refrigerate overnight. In the morning, take off the cover, place the dish in a cold oven, set temperature to 350 degrees, and bake for 45 minutes.

I put this together last night, and all I had to do this morning was put it in the oven to bake. YUMMY!
Have a great weekend. :)
