How to Make Breakfast Casserole With A Twist

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Trim crusts from 1 loaf (about 1 pound) of bread and cut into 2-inch cubes. Spray a 9x13 inch casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray. Add bread cubes to the dish.
  2. In a large skillet, brown 1 pound of sausage (Italian sausage recommended). Drain excess grease. Add 1 cup chopped bell peppers and 1/2 cup chopped green olives; stir to combine. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 8 large eggs (or equivalent egg substitute), 1 tablespoon dry mustard, and 2 cups milk (reduce to 1.5 cups if using egg substitute).
  4. Layer the sausage mixture evenly over the bread cubes in the casserole dish. Top with 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese and 8 ounces sliced mushrooms.
  5. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layered ingredients. Cover the casserole dish and refrigerate overnight.
  6. When ready to bake, combine 10.75 ounces (1 can) condensed cream of mushroom soup and 1/2 cup milk. Pour this mixture evenly over the casserole.
  7. Bake, uncovered, for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until golden brown and set. Let stand for 10-15 minutes before serving.
