Lisa has a great post today featuring our Mother's very old cookbook. It brings back so many memories for me to see those pictures. I hope you enjoy reading about it. It inspired me to tell me about one of my favorite cookbooks. It was given to me by a dear family friend 15 years ago. Actually, it was a wedding gift... that marriage did not last, but the cookbook is still one of
my favorites! It is called "Necessities and Temptations" it is celebrating it's 20th anniversary this year. It is from The Junior League of Austin.It not only has great recipes, but it offers variation on many of the best recipes. It also has a fantastic kitchen reference guide. I can not tell you how many times I have gone to it to convert measurements or for things like... "what do you do if you need buttermilk, but do not have buttermilk?" It has all sorts of things like that.
I used it Christmas Eve to make our family favorite Brunch Egg Casserole (on pg 166). I have had a recent request for this recipe (sorry Chrissy for taking so long to post this) so I'm posting a family favorite, I always make this for Christmas morning or whenever I need a great brunch dish.
Brunch Egg Casserole
6 slices white bread, crust removed
1 pound ground sausage
4 cups shredded cheddar cheese
6 eggs
1 tsp salt
1 tsp dry mustard
2 cups half & half
1 pound ground sausage
4 cups shredded cheddar cheese
6 eggs
1 tsp salt
1 tsp dry mustard
2 cups half & half
- Lightly butter each side of bread and place in a 9x13 glass baking dish
- Brown sausage, and drain. Sprinkle sausage over the bread
- sprinkle cheese over sausage
- Beat eggs. Add salt, dry mustard and half & half, beat again
- Pour egg mixture over the bread, sausage and cheese
- Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight. At this point you may freeze it until ready to use.
If you freeze, thaw overnight in refrigerator. - Remove foil. Bake 45 minutes at 350 degrees or until casserole is bubbly and lightly browned on top.

I have used a similar recipe that is actually called Christmas Morning Breakfast Casserole. I like breakfast recipes that I can put together the night before. Thanks for the recipe. I'll give yours a try next time.
I have one very similar to this. You are sooo right. It is DELICIOUS!
I love my yellow cookbook, too. I had a kick posting about mom's cookbook.
My mom always makes a similar casserole for Christmas. Yum!
I make a casserole similiar to this and we love it. Thanks for sharing your version.
Yummo! I had heard of this one before but never tried. Am going to have to now. ;) I love the idea you and Lisa have of doing this.
Sounds good. I've been trying to find a good breakfast casserole recipe, but I've only eaten it 2 or 3 times ever, so it's kind of hard to remember what it was like, in order to find a similar recipe. All I remember is that it had bacon & sausage in it, and I believe it had biscuits rather than white bread. It's hard to believe there could be so many versions of this casserole.
I love breakfast casseroles. I make a similar recipe, except it uses hashbrowns in place of the bread.
I LOVE THIS COOKBOOK!!! It is one that I will NOT give away ;)
(My password is "chickd"....I wonder what that means?)
I just posted a dish for my weekly menu that is similar. :D It has to be good! :D
Ooh! This look perfect for a potluck brunch at church I have coming up!! Thanks!
I have yet met a brunch casserole that I don't like!

You know it's my favorite for breakfast when company comes. It always seems to be a winner.

looks yummy, and I collect cookbooks so I can't wait!!!
I wonder if bacon instead of sausage or even ground beef would work. I'm just not a sausage eater. But I love breakfast casseroles.
Hi!
Great recipe! I'll have to give this a try! Thanks for sharing. Have a great day!
