1 lb. Sage or natural sausage, cooked and browned

2 cups milk
2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. oregano
1 tsp. pepper
1/2 tsp. paprika
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp dry mustard

Butter the bread slices and place the buttered side down in a 9x13 pan. Layer in order: cheese, sausage, chimes, and egg mixture.
Refrigerate overnight (covered)
Uncover. Bake at 325-350 degrees for 45-50 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

For gluten free, use shredded potatoes or hash browns. We like this better than using the bread.
