Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 300F (150C).
  2. Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
  3. Spread the herb-seasoned croutons evenly on the bottom of the prepared dish.
  4. Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups of the grated cheddar cheese over the croutons.
  5. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bulk sausage, breaking it into small crumbles, until browned and cooked through. Drain excess fat.
  6. Spread the cooked sausage evenly over the cheese layer.
  7. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, 2 1/2 cups of milk, dry mustard, salt, and pepper.
  8. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sausage layer.
  9. Cover the dish with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate overnight.
  10. The next day, remove the casserole from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  11. In a small bowl, stir the cream of mushroom soup with the remaining 1/2 cup of milk until smooth.
  12. Pour the soup mixture evenly over the casserole.
  13. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese on top.
  14. Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 1 hour 30 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
  15. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
