How to Make Sunday Morning Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 2 1/2 to 3-quart baking dish with butter, oil, or cooking spray.
  2. Cube the bread and place it in the prepared baking dish in a single, even layer.
  3. In a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until it is almost cooked through (about 5-7 minutes).
  4. Drain off any excess grease from the cooked sausage.
  5. Evenly distribute the cooked sausage over the bread in the baking dish.
  6. Arrange the thinly sliced potatoes over the sausage layer.
  7. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the potatoes.
  8. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, mustard powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  9. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the casserole.
  10. Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 2 hours).
  11. Remove the casserole from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking.
  12. Bake uncovered for 30-40 minutes, or until the casserole is set, golden brown, and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  13. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Serve hot and enjoy!
