Overnight Sausage & Egg Breakfast Casserole

My brother-in-law made this for us at Thanksgiving, then my mother made it for us at Christmas. Daniel and I both loved it, so I decided to give it a try. It is a pretty simple and delicous breakfast!

Ingredients:
6-8 slices white bread (I made Bread Machine Bread)
about 1/4 C softened butter (just for buttering the bread slices)
4 C grated colby jack cheese
12 oz pork sausage, browned and drained if necessary
(1) 4 oz can green chiles
6 eggs
2 C milk
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp paprika
1 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp dry mustard

Instructions:
I cut the recipe above in half for Daniel and I, and we still had left overs. Because we were doing a half recipe, I left out the chillies to avoid throwing away half a can.

First cut the crust off the bread and put it in a buttered pan.

Then put down the layer of cheese, then the cooked sausage. In a separate bowl, mix the eggs, milk, and spices. Pour this over the cheese and sausage. Be sure to stir as you pour to keep the spices spread out.
