Do Ahead Breakfast Casserole

Recipe from Cousin Janice (Kucera) Brochhausen

This dish is good for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.  It reheats well in the  microwave.

6 slices wheat bread
butter
1/2 pound bacon, diced, fried, drained
8 ounces shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
1/2 cup sliced mushrooms (the kind in a jar)
1 small yellow onion, chopped
6 eggs
milk

Butter the bottom of a 9- x 13-inch pan. 

Butter one side of each piece of bread and put in pan, buttered side down. 

Layer bacon, green pepper, cheese, mushrooms, and onions on top of bread.  

Beat the eggs and add enough milk to make 2 cups.  Pour this mixture over the casserole.  Refrigerate overnight (or make earlier in the day). 

Bake at 350 degrees F, uncovered, for 45 minutes.
