How to Make Christmas Breakfast Sausage Casserole

  1. Crumble 1 pound of breakfast sausage into a large skillet.
  2. Cook over medium heat, breaking up the sausage with a spoon, until evenly browned (about 8-10 minutes).
  3. Drain off any excess grease.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 teaspoons mustard powder, 1 teaspoon salt, 6 large eggs, and 1 1/2 cups milk.
  5. Add the cooked sausage, 4 cups of cubed bread (day-old is best), and 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese. Stir gently to combine.
  6. Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  7. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight.
  8. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  9. Bake the covered casserole for 45 minutes.
  10. Uncover the casserole, reduce oven temperature to 325°F (165°C).
  11. Bake for an additional 30-45 minutes, or until the casserole is set and golden brown on top and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
