Nikki's Breakfast Casserole

1 lb breakfast sausage
½ cup chopped green onion, or to taste
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
6 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup water
1/2 cup milk
1 (2.64 ounce) package original country gravy mix (I use McCormick’s)
6 slices bread, cut into 1 inch cubes (King's Hawaiian rolls work really well)
2 tablespoons melted butter (optional)
paprika to taste (optional)

DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
2. Grease an 11 x8 inch baking dish (can use 9x13).
3. Brown sausage in a large skillet; drain fat.
4. Combine sausage with green onion and spread evenly
across the bottom of the baking dish.
5. Top with shredded cheese.
6. Whisk together eggs, water, milk, and gravy mix; add mixture to baking dish.
7. Arrange bread squares evenly on top. If desired, drizzle
melted butter over bread, and sprinkle with paprika.
8. Bake 40 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a
knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Set
aside 10 minutes before serving.
