Cowboy Breakfast Pie

1 lb. regular bulk sausage
1 lb. hot bulk sausage
1 med. onion, finely chopped
4 or 5 stalks celery, finely chopped
1 (4.5 ounce) can mild diced green chile peppers
8 slices bread, toasted, or 3 c. flavored croutons
1 can cream of mushroom soup
4 eggs
2 1/2 c. milk
10 oz. Cheddar, mozzarella or jack cheese

In a lrg. skillet, cook both sausages together until done. Drain off grease.

Chop onions and celery fairly fine and add to fried sausage. Fry onions and celery with sausage until onions and celery are about half cooked. Pour sausage, onions, and celery into a lrg. pan or bowl. Add croutons, eggs, peppers, mushroom soup, and milk. Add 1 c. cheese and mix well.

Spoon 1/2 mixture into a buttered 9 x 13-in. dish. Spread 1/2 remaining cheese lightly over layer. Spread remaining mixture and cover with remaining cheese. Bake at 350 degrees F for 35 mins.. Uncover and bake at 300 degrees F for another 30 to 35 mins.. Remove from oven when cheese starts to darken around edges. Best to let cool before serving so it can set up some.

Serve with picante sauce.
