Apple Sausage Overnight Brunch Casserole

Hello! This one's for Teri & Martha =)  This is beyond delicious.  I did a Mothers' Day Brunch for many many years ~ if I did not make this recipe people got upset!  And it is soooo easy =)  I have not figured out how to get a "print" this on here - my suggestion is to copy & paste it (ctrl C to copy - ctrl V to paste).  I'll start with the recipe - in this case in parentheses (doesn't that word just look wrong?)(I checked) is what I use to halve the recipe - and what I made in the pictures. 

Apple Sausage Overnight Brunch Casserole

2# bulk pork sausage (roll or ground) (1#)
3-4 Apples, cored and sliced-about 1/4 slices (2)
9 slices plain ole white bread, crusts removed & cubed (5)
3/4 tsp yellow mustard (1/2 tsp)
9 eggs, beaten (can replace with egg beaters) (5)
1-1/2 C grated sharp cheddar cheese (bought grated not as good) (1C)
3 C milk (I use 2%) (1 - 1/2 C)

Fry the sausage, using slotted spoon remove to baking dish (13 x 9 x 2 or 2- 1-1/2 qt dishes).  Saute the apple in the reserved fat.  Combine rest, giving bread time to absorb the wet ingredients.  Pour over sausage.  Refrigerate overnight.  Preheat 350. Bake uncovered 30 minutes, covered 30 minutes more. 

Ingredients

brown the sausage ~ steamy =) lololol

granny smith here ~ I like golden delicious, too , but they don't hold up well



Plates ready for a dinner of this! Sweet gherkins go wonderfully, crusty bread with apricot marmalade with a bit of chili powder - and heated slightly in the microwave




Ready...set....EAT!!!!!!!
