Amy’s Breakfast Casserole

I actually make mine the night before and then reheat it the next morning.  It is a nicer consistency and has a beter flavor the next day.  Makes great leftovers.

This is a great meal- it is super filling and makes great leftovers.

Ingredients:

First Step:
2 1/2 c. unseasoned croutons/hard bread (unseasoned stuffing mix works well- I use homemade bread cubes)

1 lb original sausage in a roll
1 c. cheddar cheese- add more if you really like cheese
4 eggs beaten
2 1/4 c. milk

Second Step:
1 can Cream of Chicken or Mushroom Soup (I use chicken)
1/2 c. milk

To Make:
Night Before:
1.  Brown and drain the sausage

2.  Put croutons/bread in a 9×13 lasagna pan

3.  Mix sausage, cheese, eggs (beaten) with milk- pour over the croutons/bread

4.  Refrigerate overnight

Next Morning:
1.  Preheat oven to 350*

2.  Mix soup and 1/2 c milk together and pour over sausage mixture

3.  Place in oven and bake for 1 1/2 hrs- it will get dark from the cheese
Note:   This meal is even better the second day!!!!

In slow cooker-

place everything in the slow cooker- let it sit for a while to absorb the egg- cook overnight on low for 8 hours.

not the same consistency- but easier.

Mom Inserra’s Super Awesome Stuffing

this is sooo good!

Ingredients:

Bread cube bag ( I make my own from a bit stale bread and freeze until I need it for something)

2/3 c. butter
1 1/3 c. chopped onion
1 1/3 c. chopped celery
1 1/2 tsp salt
3/4 tsp pepper
3 tsp poultry seasoning or

(1 tablespoon dried marjoram – 1 tablespoon dried rosemary -1 tablespoon dried sage -1 tablespoon dried thyme –

1/2 teaspoon black pepper )

1 Lb Pork Sausage (Italian) (like Jimmy Dean- the roll)
1 can chicken broth

To Make:

1.  Melt butter add onions and celery- cook for 5 minutes

2.  Sauté (brown) Sausage in another pan- dump on paper towels to drain grease

3.  Add the sausage to the onions and celery mixture

4.  Add all the seasonings except the pepper- cook together for 3 minutes

5.  Add Bread cubes and mix well

6.  Mix pepper in with chicken broth- pour over the mixture

7.  After it cools, place in refrigerator.

8.  Either stuff in turkey- or- place in casserole dish, pour more broth over top

9.  If you want it soft, cover, if crunchy on top, leave uncovered

10.  Cook at 325* for 35-40 minutes

Hint:   Never stuff in turkey until right before it goes in the oven so to avoid salmonella in the

stuffing.

Grease turkey with Olive oil mixed with garlic- cook 20 min. per Lb

Baste with chicken broth every ½ hr.
