"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God."   2 Corinthians 5:17-20 (NIV)

Sausage Breakfast Casserole

by Sue Walsh

Bake Time: 1 hour

8 SLICES OF BREAD (or 4 SLICES + BOX OF SEASONED CROUTONS)
1 LB SHARP CHEDDAR CHEESE
2 LBS JIMMY DEAN OR OWENS SAUSAGE (1 HOT, 1 REGULAR)
7 EGGS
2 1/4 CUPS MILK
3/4 TSP DRY MUSTARD
1/2 CAN OF MILK
1 JAR OF SLICED MUSHROOMS

TO PREPARE: Place bread in a buttered casserole dish. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the bread (using half of the cheese at this time). Fry sausage and then drain. Spread sausage over cheese & bread layers. In a mixing bowl, beat eggs, milk and mustard together. Pour this evenly over top of casserole dish mixture. Sprinkle other half of cheese over the top at this time. Refrigerate overnight. Next morning, dilute mushroom soup with the half can of milk. Add the mushroom slices to top and pour soup and milk mixture over everything.
