Place 8 slices bread in the bottom of a buttered 9 x 13 inch baking dish. Place on each slice of bread a slice of bacon and a slice of cheese. Top with the other 8 slices. Mix together the eggs, salt, dried mustard, onion, Worcestershire sauce, milk, and red pepper and pour over bread. Melt butter and pour over the top. Cover with 1 cup potato chips and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.
Prepare the casserole the night before and allow it to set in the refrigerator. Add the potato chips at the time of baking.
