Ingredients

  • 8 slices white bread cubed (the cheaper the better)

  • 2 pounds sausage (I use Jimmy Dean)
  • 3 cups whole milk divided
  • ¾ teaspoon dry mustard
  • 10.5 ounces cream of mushroom soup 1 can

Instructions

  • In skillet over medium heat, cook sausage until cooked and it’s golden brown.
    2 pounds sausage
  • Place bread cubes in bottom of a 9 x 13 casserole dish.
    8 slices white bread
  • Add cheese and sausage on top of the bread.
    2 cups grated cheddar cheese
  • In a medium mixing bowl combine 2 ½ cups milk, eggs, and mustard and whisk together. Pour milk mixture on top of bread mixture.
    3 cups whole milk, ¾ teaspoon dry mustard, 4 eggs
  • Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 300° F.

Notes

Note: if making more than the evening ahead, cover pan with plastic wrap and foil and place in freezer instead of putting in refrigerator. The night before you're going to bake it, place in refrigerator to thaw overnight. Resume baking instructions the next morning.
