Since this game seems to always be the morning SEC TV broadcast, this dish is perfect for that first mild morning game in October.
Chip Cates
Ingredients:
- 5 slices white bread or crescent rolls
- 1 package maple link sausage, cooked and drained
- ½ stick of melted butter
- 8 slices bacon
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded pepper jack or mozzarella cheese
- 8 eggs, beaten
- ½ cup cottage cheese
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1 can chopped green chili’s
- ½ jar Walmart Southwestern Black Bean and Corn Salsa
- Dash cayenne, black pepper, Old Bay and/or Tony’s
Preparation:
Grease the bottom of a 9"x13" pan. Tear up 4 slices of bread and place in the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle cooked crumbled sausage over bread pieces. Sprinkle ¾ the shredded cheese over the sausage. Mix eggs, butter, salsa, ¼ shredded cheese, chili’s, cottage cheese, milk and mustard together; pour over casserole.
Set in fridge overnight
Another twist would be to shred up a left over baked potato and add to the egg mixture.
Add rest of cheese. Cook bacon and crumble over the top of the cold mixture. Bake at 350° for 40 to 50 minutes.
Serves 6 to 8.
Excellent if leftover is put into fridge and cut into squares the following morning for Sunday School quiche.
