How Do I Make Overnight Breakfast Casserole?

This is so quick to mix up! Cube your bread and place in a greased 9 x 13 pan. Sprinkle your bread with shredded cheese and the sausage, ham, bacon whichever you are using. Whisk remaining ingredients together and pour over bread, cheese and meat. Cover tightly and refrigerate until morning or for at least 4 hours. This is so the bread has time to soak up the egg mixture. Uncover and bake for 1 hour or until golden brown and casserole is set.
