How to Make Jimmy Dean Breakfast Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Cook 1 lb Jimmy Dean sausage (or your favorite sausage) in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until thoroughly cooked and no longer pink. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1 cup milk, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  4. In a buttered 9x13 inch baking dish, evenly distribute half of 6 cups cubed bread (day-old is best).
  5. Sprinkle half of 1/2 cup black pepper, half of 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your choice of cheese), half of the cooked sausage, and half of your optional ingredients (see recipe variations below) over the bread.
  6. Repeat layers with remaining bread, pepper, cheese, sausage, and optional ingredients.
  7. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the casserole.
  8. Bake uncovered for 55-60 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is lightly golden brown. If the top browns too quickly, tent loosely with foil.
  9. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
