Savory Breakfast Casserole

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Savory Breakfast Casserole.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 300°F (150°C).

2. Step 2

   While that warms up, grab a 9x13-inch baking dish and give it a good greasing with either cooking spray or a pat of butter to ensure nothing sticks.

3. Step 3

   Next, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add your breakfast sausage.

4. Step 4

   Cook it for about 7 to 9 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it’s beautifully browned and crumbly.

5. Step 5

   Once it’s done, drain any excess grease to keep your casserole from getting too oily.

6. Step 6

   While the sausage is sizzling away, take a mixing bowl and whisk together your eggs until they’re nice and smooth.

7. Step 7

   Then, add in 2 cups of milk, a sprinkle of dry mustard powder, and a pinch of salt.

8. Step 8

   Whisk everything together until it’s well combined and creamy.

9. Step 9

   Now, let’s build our casserole! Spread the cubed bread evenly across the bottom of your greased baking dish.

10. Step 10

    Layer the cooked sausage on top of the bread, followed by a generous sprinkle of shredded Cheddar cheese.

11. Step 11

    This is where the magic starts to happen! Pour your egg mixture over the entire casserole, making sure every bit of bread and sausage is covered.

12. Step 12

    To let all those flavors meld together, cover the dish with plastic wrap and pop it in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours or, even better, overnight.

13. Step 13

    This step is key for a deliciously rich breakfast casserole.

14. Step 14

    When you’re ready to bake, take the casserole out of the fridge and remove the plastic wrap.

15. Step 15

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the condensed cream of mushroom soup and the remaining 1/2 cup of milk until smooth.

16. Step 16

    Pour this creamy mixture over the casserole, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.

17. Step 17

    Now, it’s time to bake! Place your casserole in the preheated oven and let it work its magic for about 1 1/2 hours.

18. Step 18

    You’ll know it’s ready when the top is golden brown and the casserole feels firm to the touch.

19. Step 19

    The aroma wafting through your kitchen will be irresistible! Once it’s done, let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

    Enjoy this hearty breakfast casserole with family and friends, and watch it disappear in no time!.
