Ingredients

  • •1 pound ground sausage
  • •8 cups cubed bread
  • •2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • •8 eggs
  • •2 cups whole milk
  • •1 teaspoon salt
  • •1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • •1 teaspoon dry mustard

Directions

  1. 1Brown the sausage in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it into crumbles, then drain and set aside.
  2. 2Place cubed bread in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish and top with cooked sausage and cheese.
  3. 3Whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and dry mustard in a bowl.
  4. 4Pour egg mixture over bread and sausage, pressing down gently to soak the bread.
  5. 5Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight or at least 8 hours.
  6. 6Preheat oven to 350°F and bake covered for 30 minutes, then uncovered for 15-20 minutes until set and golden.

💡 Overnight casserole works best with dry bread that can absorb custard without collapsing. Very fresh bread often produces a wet, pudding-like centre.
