Easy Sausage Strata

01Method

1. 1

   Collect all of the ingredients before starting.

2. 2

   Coat a 7x11-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set it aside.

3. 3

   Place a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the sausage, breaking it up as it cooks, for 5 to 7 minutes, then drain off the fat.

4. 4

   Arrange the bread cubes in the baking dish, top with the cooked sausage, then add the cheese. Whisk together the milk, eggs, salt, and mustard in a bowl and pour the mixture over the layers. Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.

   Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Remove the casserole from the refrigerator and allow it to come toward room temperature for at least 30 minutes before placing it in the oven.

6. 6

   Bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes. Allow the casserole to rest for 10 minutes before cutting and serving.
