Every Christmas, my family dined on this delicious casserole. This is an original family recipe passed onto to me from the one who originally created it, my grandmother, who is 97 currently and still attempting to cook when needed. I have set out to reinvent it in my home, with a few touches of my own, for times other than holidays.
Sausage & Apple Breakfast Casserole:
1 1/2 pounds spicy ground pork sausage
6 slices bread, chopped in pieces with crust removed
2 apples, peeled and sliced
3/4 teaspoon dry mustard
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 teaspoon paprika
6 eggs, well beaten
1 1/2 cups milk
6 ounces of shredded cheese (grated)
Brown sausage in a skillet, breaking it up as you cook it. Then drain on paper towels. Reserve half of the drippings in the pan and saute the sliced apples in it. Put sausage in the bottom of a glass casserole pan (medium sized). Remove the crust from bread and cut into pieces. Combine the bread, apples, mustard, paprika, eggs, cheese, and milk and salt and pepper in a large bowl and mix well. Pour this mixture over the sausage and sprinkle remaining cheese on top. Refrigerate overnite, covered. Next morning, remove from fridge. Bake covered at 350 for 30 minutes, remove cover and bake another 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
Thank you Grandmother Jean Wessell.
