Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Savory Sausage Strata.
Step 1
Begin by assembling all the necessary ingredients for your delightful Sausage Strata.
Step 2
Preheat your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) to create the perfect baking environment.
Step 3
Lightly coat a 7x11-inch baking dish with cooking spray, setting it aside for later use.
Step 4
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the pork sausage, stirring frequently until it becomes crumbly and golden, which should take about 5 to 7 minutes.
Step 5
Be sure to drain any excess fat to keep your dish light.
Step 6
In the prepared baking dish, create a harmonious layer of cubed bread, followed by the savory cooked sausage, and a generous sprinkle of shredded Cheddar cheese.
Step 7
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, salt, and ground dry mustard until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
Step 8
Pour this creamy concoction over the layered ingredients in the baking dish, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
Step 9
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours or overnight, allowing the bread to soak up all that delicious egg mixture.
Step 10
When you're ready to bake, let the casserole sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to take the chill off.
Step 11
Slide it into your preheated oven and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, signaling that it's perfectly cooked.
Step 12
Once out of the oven, allow the casserole to rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Step 13
This Sausage Strata is not just a meal; it's a warm, comforting experience that brings everyone together.
Step 14
Enjoy every bite!.
