And In The Morning... Let's Have Waffles!

OK, maybe not waffles. But this week for Carnival of the Recipes, I'm still doing breakfast! This is great when there is a lot of company staying the night, although I do think that in a couple years, this will be something that my three boys sit down and polish off in 5 minutes. It's quick and easy, but it does have a long baking time. Enjoy! (Remember, send recipes by midnight tonight to recipe.carnival(at) gmail.com)

Bacon and Egg Casserole

• ¼ cup of butter
• 4 cups of seasoned croutons*
• 8 eggs
• ½ tsp of dry mustard
• 2 cups of milk
• 2 cups of grated cheddar cheese
• 12 oz package of bacon, cooked and crumbled

Melt butter and pour in 11x7x2 inch pan. Coat bottom of pan. Spread croutons on bottom, followed by cheese. Beat eggs, add milk and dry mustard, beating together. Pour on top of croutons and cheese. Spread crumbled bacon on top of casserole. Bake at 325 deg for 40-50 minutes or until casserole is set. Let sit for 5-10 minutes before serving. Serves 6-8.

*4 cups of seasoned croutons is the equivalent of 1 6 ounce box of Mrs. Cubbison’s Seasoned Restaurant Style Croutons.
