💰Cheaper: canned green beans

Zucchini is low-calorie and adds moisture; canned green beans are budget-friendly.

Brown 1 lb of sausage and place it in a greased 9x13 casserole dish.

Add 2 lbs of shredded mild cheddar cheese on top of the sausage, spreading it out evenly.

In a bowl, slightly beat 6 eggs and add 1 cup of water and 1 package (2.68 oz) of country gravy mix. Mix well to remove lumps.

Pour the egg and gravy mixture over the cheese and sausage in the casserole dish.

Top the casserole with 6 slices of 1-inch cut bread, spreading them out as evenly as possible.

Spray or drizzle butter flavored cooking oil over the bread to help it brown.

Preheat the oven to 325°F and bake the casserole for 40 minutes.

Check if the casserole is done by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean.

Let the casserole sit for 10 minutes before cutting into it.
