          Impossible Breakfast Pie

          6 Eggs

          2 c Milk

          1 t Dry mustard

          1 c Bisquick

          1/2 ts Oregano leaves

          1 lb Sausage

          1 c Cheese, cheddar, shredded

          Brown and drain sausage. Mix all ingredients together and cover. Refrigerate overnight. Preheat oven to 350. Pour into greased 2-qt. casserole; bake until knife inserted in center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Sylvias comments: This rose so much, it was about 1″ over the top of the casserole! 2 adults and 2 children almost polished the whole thing off. Easy to make and flavorful, although the hour cooking time (50 minutes worked in my oven) limits it to weekends for us; I don get up an hour before breakfast on weekdays. But for a special weekend breakfast, its great. Id also like to try it split, 2 servings to a foil pie pan; I bet it would take less baking time that way.
