BREAKFAST CASSEROLE

Grease a 9 X 13 pan.  Take 6 slices of white bread.  Cut off the crusts and cut each slice in half.  Place in bottom of pan.  Then brown 1 lb. of ground sausage (Jimmy Dean Maple flavored, is really, really good).  Once browned, spoon the sausage over the bread slices.  Cover the bread and sausage with 8 oz. of cheddar cheese.  In a bowl, whisk together 8 large eggs, 2 cups milk, 1 tsp. dry mustard, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. black pepper.  Pour the egg/milk mixture over the bread, sausage, and cheese.  Bake at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes.
