Christmas Breakfast Casserole

Category: Recipes

16 slices white bread, crusts removed
8 slices back bacon
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
6 eggs
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp dry mustard
dash tabasco sauce
1/4 cup chopped red pepper
1/4 cup minced onion
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
3 cups milk
1 cup crushed corn flakes

Butter a 9x13 inch baking pan with bread. Cover the bread with bacon, cheese and remaining bread. Beat the eggs and add all the remaining ingredients. Pour egg mixture over the bread and refrigerate overnight. In the morning melt 1/4 cup butter and pour over the casserole; add cornflakes. Bake uncovered at 350 F for about 1 hour. Let rest 10 minutes before serving.

This has been a family tradition for us on Christmas morning for close to 20 years. Works great for brunch during the rest of the year, too.
