Breakfast Casseroles

Italian Sausage Breakfast Casserole by Larry Buechel

Ingredients:

2 lbs Johnsonville pork or Italian Sausage

1 lb loaf of French bread torn into pieces

2 4oz cans mushrooms drained

large sliced onion

6 eggs

1 qt milk

2 tsp Ital seasoning

8oz Mozzarella Cheese grated

4oz Cheddar Cheese

pepper, and garlic salt to taster to taste

Steps:

Brown the sausage. In a 9/13 baking dish mix sausage, bread and mushrooms.  Mix eggs, milk and seasoning and then spread over sausage mixture .  Cover and refrigerate overnight.

On game day bake in a 350 degree oven for about an hour.  Remove from the oven and sprinkle the cheeses over the top and then return to the oven for 15 minutes.

 

Purdue Breakfast

This breakfast casserole combines the taste of eggs, Canadian Bacon and cheese much like a quiche - only with more gusto and substance.  I met Mary Dee Daily at a morning Purdue/Wisconsin game where she served it with crescent rolls.  Try it at your next morning tailgate.

Ingredients

8 slices of Pepperidge Farm or similar white bread

8 oz. shredded Monterey Jack cheese

8 oz. cream cheese

4 oz. green drained chili peppers

8 oz pkg. Canadian Bacon slices

12 eggs

2 cups milk

1/2 teaspoon dry mustard

dash of garlic salt

dash red pepper

1 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese

Cut bread into cubes including the crust.  Arrange evenly in a greased, shallow three quart casserole dish. Cut the Canadian Bacon slices into 1/2 inch cubes and then cover the bread with them.  Sprinkle with Monterey Jack, cheddar and cream cheeses.    Top with chili peppers.  In a large bowl beat eggs until mixed and then stir-in milk, mustard, red pepper and garlic salt. Pour this mixture over casserole mix, cover with foil and chill overnight in refrigerator.

On game day, preheat oven to 350 and then bake the dish, uncovered for about 50 minutes or until a knife can be inserted into the center and will come out clean. Re-cover with the foil and pack the dish in your warming cooler/heater or in the bottom of a cardboard box covered by newspaper and then your buns etc that are going to be used at the tailgate.   Heat the dish, at your tailgate, on your grill or stove until warm inside.

This dish goes great with a Bloody too!
