Recipe Name: Sausage Egg Casserole
Story: It would not be Thanksgiving or Christmas without our traditional Sausage Egg Casserole.
Every year it seems a little different, depending on the bread and amount of cheese. At first I made it with whole wheat bread with the crust on. Young and adamant on being healthy, later as the years progress the crust has gone, I use either French Bread or Italian Bread and whole milk! It comes out light and fluffy, and oh so good.
Years you've been making it: Since 2000 or so
