I resisted looking at the latest Celebrate magazine for as long as I could stand it. I wanted to wait until much closer to fall but I finally gave in to temptation and spend a nice evening on the sofa perusing this issue.
One recipe caught my eye immediately. I love an easy recipe and Breakfast Casserole is certainly that. We actually ate it for dinner instead breakfast. I would definitely make this again and maybe even next time it will be for a morning meal instead of an evening one.
Breakfast Casserole
4 slices wheat bread, torn
6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
4 sausage links, cooked and chopped
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
6 large eggs, beaten
2 cups whole milk
1 tsp dry mustard
Garnish: freshly cracked black pepper, fresh thyme
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease the bottom of a 13×9 baking dish. Place bread pieces in dish. Sprinkle bacon and sausage over bread pieces. Sprinkle cheese over bacon and sausage.
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and mustard; pour over cheese. Bake until set in center, about 35 to 40 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving. Garnish if desired.
My notes:
I used 2% milk instead of whole milk.
I doubled the recipe so that I wouldn’t have to cook for a few nights.
I’m thinking that this would be perfect for Christmas morning. There’s nothing like thinking ahead!

It looks delicious! I have got the “fall” thing in me too. I want so bad to start thinking pumpkins, fall leaves, and soups. I will definitely try this.
Good Morning Paula Sweetie… What a beautiful share today. I am definitely going to try that one for a breakfast. I think everyone would love it. A little bit of what each one of us love all thrown into one casserole. I love one dish breakfast, makes it a little easier on the cook too.
Thank you for sharing. I may just have to invest in this magazine as well. That pie on the front sure looks delish.
Awhh this looks yummy! I saw this book at Walmart the other day and picked it up and thought about getting it but put it back. I think I will go back and get it now…I skimmed through it and saw several good recipes and other neat ideas that I liked.
Looks delish! We have a similar casserole and we do use it on Christmas morning…it’s a tradition! 🙂 I just picked up my issue in Target the other day, but haven’t had a chance to flip through it yet. Fall is calling my name! 🙂
Paula, last year we did breakfast casseroles for Christmas breakfast for my family. It was a hit. We made them the night before and let them sit in the fridge until morning. Christmas morning all I had to do was stick them in the oven. So easy! Carla
Breakfast casserole is a tradition at our house for Christmas…or at least WAS a tradition — last year our DD had us for breakfast Christmas morn — so I guess the torch has been officially passed.
Paula this recipe looks delish. I just adore all brekfast foods. Yummmy! I’m also going to check out this magazine. I have never seen it before and it looks like a good one.
I love that magazine, too! I’ll be making breakfast casseroles for a friend’s post wedding brunch. Maybe I’ll do this one!! thanks!

This looks delicious! I’m going to try it. That cozy, fall cooking season is almost upon us. Hard to believe!
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog and for your kind comment.
Have a great day!

Great recipe, Paula. I’d love this for dinner, too since I am not much of a morning eater.
By the way, I LOVE your new blog look!

That looks sooo goood! YUM! I’ve never had a breakfast casserole with bacon and sausage. That rocks! I would’ve eaten it for supper too. YUM!
The words “celebrate Fall” jumped out at me.
Not fall HERE yet – – – stinkin’ HOT and HUMID, heat indexes in the HIGH 90’s.
So glad I did not have to “go back to school” this week!
good Lord…I’ve been reading your past 10 or 12 posts…woman, you wear me out 🙂
These are my favorite breakfasts- we always do something like this for the holidays. YUM!

Yummy! This looks wonderful! I’ve made something similar, but I think I’ll have to give this version a try. Thank you for sharing the recipe!
That magazine is just amazing! I haven’t seen the fall one yet…will look at Sams (great discounted price!).
