Christmas Morning Strata

Make this tonight before you go to bed.  Then tomorrow, when you get up, put it in the slow cooker and you are having breakfast right after opening your gifts from Santa.

Ingredients

1 pound ground pork sausage
6 cups cubed French bread
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded Cheddar cheese
3 cups milk
6 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 teaspoons prepared mustard
3/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Directions

Brown sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring until it crumbles and is no longer pink; drain well.

Place bread cubes in a lightly greased 5-quart slow cooker; sprinkle sausage and cheese over bread.

In a medium-bowl, combine milk and remaining ingredients. Pour over bread in slow cooker insert. Cover the insert, and chill 8 hours.  

Christmas Morning, return insert to slow cooker, and let it stand at room temperature 20 minutes.

Cover and cook on low setting 3 1/2 hours.
