Overnight Sausage and Egg Bake

(Courtesy of ourbestbites.com)

Ingredients:
6-8 slices white bread
1/4 c. softened butter
4 c. grated colby jack cheese
12 oz. pork sausage, browned and drained (if necessary)
1 can (4 oz.) green chillies, or can use a 7 oz. can if you prefer more
6 eggs
2 c. milk
1 tsp. kosher salt
1/2 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. oregano
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. dry mustard

Directions:
Start by removing the crusts from the bread and lightly butter one side.  Place bread butter side down in a 9x13 baking dish.  You may need to cut some of the bread pieces to make them all fit in one layer with no big gaps.

Grate your cheese and sprinkle it evenly over the top of the bread.  Spread the browned sausage on top and top with chilies.

In a medium size bowl whisk eggs.  Add milk and seasonings and whisk to combine well.  Slowly stir the egg mixture while you pour it evenly on the top of the assembled casserole.  

Cover well and place in the refrigerator overnight.

In the morning, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Put the casserole in the oven and bake, uncovered, for 50-60 minutes.  You'll want the center to be set and the outside edges to be golden brown.  Let sit 10 minutes before cutting into it.
