ingredients

12 slices sandwich bread
3 tablespoons butter
6 slices cheddar cheese
¹⁄₂ lb turkey (or your choice of bacon, ham, shrimp, chicken, turkey)
3 tablespoons red peppers
¹⁄₄ cup onion
3 garlic cloves
3 tablespoons mushrooms, I like fresh portabello
5 eggs
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
1 cup skim milk
seasoning to taste
paprika
seasoning salt
salt
pepper
onion powder, are a few ideas

directions

Butter/spray a 9x13 pan.
Chop pepper, onion and garlic. Saute pepper, onion and garlic until onion are translucent and all are tender. Chop mushroom and add; saute for another minute or so. Remove from heat and set aside.
While the above is cooking, prepare the layers of the casserole:
Trim the crust off 12 slices of sandwich bread.
Butter one side of 6 slices of bread and put buttered side down to line the pan.
Place 6 slices of cheddar cheese on top of the bread to create a second layer.
Pre-cook meat until just barely cooked. Cool slightly, chop and arrange meat over the cheddar cheese for the third layer. Meat type is your personal preference and .5 to 1 lb can be used, again based on your preference.
(If you like you can add half of the pepper/onion saute mixture or save all for the egg mixture. I personally like adding half of the mixture here.).
Butter one side of the remaining 6 slices of bread and place buttered-side up as the final layer. Any cheese pieces or bread crumbs can be added on top if you want.
Egg mixture:
Beat 5 eggs.
Add 1 can cream of mushroom soup.
Add 1 cup milk.
Add onion/pepper mixture and any seasonings you like, similar to making scrambled eggs.
Beat mixture completely. Pour evenly over layers. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and refrigerate overnight.
AM - Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Bake casserole for 1 1/2 to 2 hours uncovered. Let sit for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Serving can be 6 (large portions) or 12 (smaller portions). 12 works well if serving fruit and other breakfast items.
