This is a Standlee Family tradition. Best made the night before and put in the fridge with foil over the baking pan and popped into a 350°F oven on Christmas morning.
Ingredients
- 4-6 cups cubed bred (your choice, remove crusts)
- 2 lb Jimmy Dean sausage (at least one should be of the hot variety)
- 3-4 cups sharp Cheddar cheese, grated
- 6-8 eggs beaten
- 2 c. milk
- 1 tsp. dry mustard
- S&P to taste
Instructions
(If making today, preheat oven to 350°F)
If your bread isn't already stale, spread the cubes out on a jellyroll pan and put in the oven while it gets up to temperature. Brown and drain sausage. Combine eggs, milk, dry mustard, and S&P. In a large bowl, toss together bred cubes and sausage and two cups cheese. Pour egg mixture over bread, sausage and cheese. Pour entire mixture into a greased 9x13 pan. Sprinkle remaining cheese.
Cover with foil and bake at 350°F for 35 to 40 minutes. Remove foil last 10 minutes. Can be prepared the night before and refrigerated.
Other Thoughts
- Try using different kinds of bread: french, sourdough, rye (or a combination)
- Try adding veggies: sauteed onion, bell pepper, jalapeno
- Try adding spices: garlic powder, red pepper flakes
- BTW: for some reason, this recipe was originally called Sprague's Sausage Casserole. Anyone out there know why?
