Sausage and Egg Casserole

I love breakfast, but my favorite time to eat breakfast food is at dinner time.  Here is one of my favorite Breakfast Casseroles that is so easy to make from your TRHIVE food.

• 1 1/2 Cups THRIVE Sausage Crumbles
• 1/2 Cup THRIVE Green Chili Peppers (optional)
• 7-9 Slices White Bread
• Butter
• 2 Cups grated Monetery Jack Cheese 
• or THRIVE Monterey Jack Cheese (rehydrated)
• 2 Cups grated Cheddar Cheese 
• or THRIVE Cheddar Cheese (rehydrated)
• 2 Cups Milk
• 3/4 Cups Water
• 6 Tbsp THRIVE Whole Egg Powder
• 1 tsp Kosher Salt
• 1 tsp Oregano
• 1/2 tsp Paprika
• 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
• 1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
• 1/4 tsp Dry Mustard

In a small bowl add hot water to the Sausage Crumbles until they are covered.  Stir and set aside.  In another small bowl add hot water to the Green Chili Peppers and set aside.

Remove the crust from the bread and butter one side of each slice.  Place the bread, butter side down, in a 9x13 pan.  Make sure the bottom of the pan is covered with no big gaps.

Grate your cheese and sprinkle it over the top of the bread.  Drain any excess waster from the sausage and sprinkle it on top of the cheese.  Then drain any extra water from the green chili peppers and sprinkle on top of the casserole.

Place the milk, water, egg powder, salt, oregano, paprika, pepper, powder, and mustard in a blender and blend well.  Pour the egg mixture evenly over the casserole.  Cover well and place in the fridge overnight.

In the morning, preheat the over to 350 degrees.  Uncover your casserole and bake for 50-60 minutes.  Make sure the center of your casserole has set.  It will be puffy and the edges should be golden brown.  Remove from oven and let sit for 10 minutes.  The casserole will settle as it cools.  Cut into squares and serve.
