Cheeseburger Casserole

8 slices day-old bread

1 lb. ground beef

1 onion, chopped

1 stalk celery, minced

1 tbsp. prepared mustard

1/2 tsp. salt

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

2 eggs, beaten

1 1/2 cup milk

1/4 tsp. dry mustard

dash of pepper

This is a layered casserole.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease your casserole dish.

Brown hamburger and drain off the grease.

Chop the onion and celery and saute with the browned hamburger.

Mix in the prepared mustard and salt, if desired.

(My hubby doesn't like mustard, so I serve it on the side)

Prepare the toast and cut the slices diagonally.

Buttering them is optional...I usually don't.

(There's enough calories already!)

Arrange toast, hamburger, and cheese in alternate layers...

ending with cheese as the top layer.

Mix eggs, milk, dry mustard and pepper.

Pour over layers in pan.

Sprinkle with paprika.

Bake 30 to 35 minutes, or until golden brown.

Create your own variations...

just think

"Cheeseburger"

mushrooms... Swiss cheese...bacon...pickles...

The options are endless!

Have fun!!
