Sausage Egg Casserole

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
