For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sausage while cooking. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese, such as Monterey Jack, Gruyere, or Pepper Jack. If you don't have time to chill the casserole overnight, you can bake it immediately, but the texture will be slightly different. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for added freshness and visual appeal. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through.

01 Step
Recipe View Prepare the Sausage: In a medium skillet, crumble the ground sausage over medium heat. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Drain off any excess grease.
02 Step
Recipe View Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the mustard powder, salt, eggs, and milk until well combined. Add the cooked sausage, toasted bread cubes, and shredded Cheddar cheese. Gently stir to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated in the egg mixture.
03 Step
Recipe View Chill: Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the bread to soak up the custard and the flavors to meld together beautifully.
04 Step
Recipe View Bake (Initial): Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Remove the casserole from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before baking to allow it to come to room temperature slightly. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the casserole is mostly set.
05 Step
Recipe View Bake (Final): Remove the foil and reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Bake for an additional 20-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is fully set. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
06 Step
Recipe View Rest and Serve: Let the casserole rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the casserole to set further and makes it easier to slice. Serve hot and enjoy the explosion of flavors!
