Ingredients

• 1 pound ground sausage
• 8 large eggs
• 2 cups milk
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 4 cups cubed bread
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup chopped green onions

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
2. In a large skillet, cook the ground sausage over medium heat until browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess fat.
3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
4. Spread half of the cubed bread in the prepared baking dish. Top with half of the cooked sausage and half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Repeat the layers with the remaining bread, sausage, and cheese.
5. Pour the egg mixture over the casserole, making sure to evenly distribute it. Press down gently with a spatula to ensure all the ingredients are soaked.
6. Cover the dish with foil and let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight. This allows the bread to absorb the egg mixture.
7. When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
8. Bake the casserole, covered with foil, for 30 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the eggs are set.
9. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped green onions.
10. Slice into squares or rectangles and serve hot.
