How to Make Bacon Egg Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch glass baking dish and set aside.
  2. Cook 6 slices of bacon until crispy. Remove from pan, drain on paper towels, and chop into 1-inch pieces.
  3. Cube 4 cups of stale bread into ¾-inch pieces. Set aside.
  4. Finely chop 1 medium onion and sauté in 1 tablespoon of butter until softened. Set aside.
  5. In a large bowl, whisk together 8 large eggs, 1 cup of milk, 1 teaspoon of mustard powder, and ½ teaspoon of salt.
  6. Stir in the cooked bacon, sautéed onion, 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, and the cubed bread. Mix well to combine.
  7. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight (optional, but recommended for best results).
  8. Bake, uncovered, for 50-60 minutes, or until golden brown and set. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.
