Ingredients

Instructions
Prepare the Casserole the Night Before
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Place the cubed bread on a baking sheet, and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until toasted.
- Remove from the oven and set aside.
- As the bread toasts, brown the breakfast sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Break the sausage up using a fork or a wooden spoon.
- When the sausage is very brown, add the bell peppers, onion and garlic, cooking the vegetables until softened.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Season with the Tony's and salt. Set aside.
- In a large baking dish, sprinkle in some of the sausage mixture, then top with half of the bread. Add more of the sausage mixture on top of it, then top that with cheese. Pour half of the egg mixture on top of these ingredients. Add the rest of the bread, sausage mixture and cheese, then top with the last half of the eggs.
- Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight.
Bake the Casserole the Day Of
