This is a Christmas morning tradition in our house. We used to have it more often and it's what Jack would always pick for his birthday party meal. Now, it pretty much keeps to Christmas. We added the tater-tots to the original and that has made all the difference. It goes great with a fruit salad or just strawberries.
Sausage Casserole
6 eggs
2 cups milk
6 slices bread (white or Italian preferred) ripped into bite size pieces
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. dry mustard
1 lb. sausage, cooked and crumbled
1 cup grated cheddar cheese (optional)
2-3 cups tater tots
Cook sausage according to directions. In a 9x13 baking dish (lightly sprayed or greased) spread bread evenly. Spread crumbled sausage evenly over bread. In medium bowl mix eggs and milk. Mix salt and dry mustard separately in a teaspoon or two of hot water to dissolve; add to milk mixture, stir. Pour evenly over bread and sausage. Sprinkle cheese over top (if using). Arrange tater tots over top. We pack our in!
Cover and refigerate overnight. We often skip this step because of precious refrigerator space and just make it right before baking. It turns out just fine; however, I would recommend keeping the tater-tots in the refrigerator overnight or thawing them a bit in the microwave before using.
Bake uncovered at 350 for 45 mins- 1 hour.
