Christmas morning Casserole

If you are looking for something you can serve Christmas morning that is yummy and good, keep on reading.  This is a breakfast casserole dish I got from Shay Shull at www.mixandmatchmama.com and I just love it!  And the really cool thing about it is you can mix it up ahead of time and bake it the next day.  EVERYONE in the Berry Family loves this casserole!  I think everyone in your family will too!

INGREDIENTS:

1 pound of breakfast sausage

1 batch of cornbread prepared (I use jiffy from a box, but you can make it homemade too)

6 eggs beaten 

2 cups of milk

1 can of cream of mushroom soup

2 (4 ounce) cans of chopped green chilies

2 cups cheddar cheese, divided

PREPERATION:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees (if preparing and serving right away)

Grease a 9 x 13 baking dish. Set aside.  Brown your sausage over medium to high heat until cooked through and crumble.  

Combine the eggs, milk, soup, chilies, and one cup of your cheese in a mixing bowl.

Layer your cooked sausage across the bottom of your baking dish and then crumble your cornbread on top of the sausage.  Next pour your egg mixture over your sausage and cornbread and top with your remaining cheddar cheese.

If not baking immediately, cover and refrigerate over night.

The casserole bakes uncovered for 50 minutes if you are baking it immediately or for 1 hour if it is coming out of the refrigerator.

Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes.  I usually serve this with box prepared blueberry muffins and fruit. 

If your family is like mine they will go GAGA for this dish!  We have been known to eat it on occasion at night when the boys request B for D!  (Breakfast for Dinner!)

Enjoy and xo,
