Christmas Morning Egg Casserole

This is the casserole that Steve cooked for his family their first Christmas and put in too much salt. It's also the casserole that I made every Christmas morning. I usually doubled it and put it in a larger pan.

7 slices white bread
2 packages (4 oz. each) shredded Cheddar cheese
6 eggs
3 cups milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3 strips bacon, cut in half (although I think I usually cut them up more and used more bacon)

Mix cheese and crumbled up bread in bottom of greased 7 1/2 inch x 12 inch baking dish. Beat eggs, milk, and seasonings together and pour over bread and cheese mixture. Lay bacon on top. Refrigerate covered overnight. Next morning, bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 50 to 55 minutes. Serve right away.
