8 slices white bread (sourdough is our favorite)
1/2 lb. ground beef
1/4 c. chopped onion
1 T. prepared mustard
1/2 tsp. salt, optional
1 c. shredded cheddar cheese
1 egg, slightly beaten
3/4 c. milk
1/2 tsp. salt, optional
dash pepper
1/8 tsp. dry mustard
Preheat oven to 350.
Cook meat, onion, prepared mustard and 1/2 tsp. salt (if used) until meat is brown and onion is tender.
While meat is browning, toast bread and butter both sides.
Alternate layers of toast, meat mixture and cheese in greased 9x9x2 baking dish.
Mix remaining ingredients; pour over layers in pan.
Bake uncovered 30-35 minutes.
This is one our families favorite dishes. It’s also a great way to use up the odd and ends bread from the freezer. I’ve used dinner rolls, hot dog buns, wheat bread, etc. If your bread is very dry, you may want to refrigerate overnight before baking, or add a little extra liquid.
