Sausage and Egg Casserole

12 beaten eggs
14 slices bread
2 1/4 cups milk
2 1/2 cups grated Cheddar or Monterey jack cheese
1 pound sausage, cooked and drained
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoons mustard, optional

Serves 8-10.

Grease sides of crock pot (or spray with Pam). If desired, spread mustard on one side of the bread and cut bread into large squares. Make layers in the crock pot of bread, followed by sausage, followed by cheese, ending with a cheese layer.

Beat eggs, milk, salt, and pepper together. Pour over crock pot mixture, cover and cook on LOW for 8 to 12 hours.
