Country Breakfast Casserole
It’s your choice. This tasty, golden brown casserole can be ready in less than one hour or you can make it the night before, chill and bake it in the morning. Choose lower fat cheese, milk and sausage for a lighter, yet still tasty version.
Prep: 15 min – Cook: 40 min
1 roll (12 ounces) sausage, regular or reduced fat
6 slices bread, crust removed

1 cup water
1/2 cup milk

(OR McCormick® Sausage Country Gravy Mix )
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons melted butter, optional

1. In a large skillet, cook crumbled sausage over medium heat until brown, stirring occasionally. Remove sausage and drain on paper towel. Spread sausage over bottom of a lightly greased 11 x 8-inch baking dish. Cut bread into 1-inch cubes. Set aside.
2. Whisk together eggs, water, milk and Gravy Mix. Sprinkle cheese over sausage. Pour mixture over cheese. Arrange bread cubes evenly over mixture. If desired, drizzle butter over bread. Sprinkle with paprika.
3. Bake at 325°F, uncovered, 40 minutes or until knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Or, cover and refrigerate overnight. Bake 50 minutes, uncovered. Remove from oven and let stand 10 minutes before serving.
