Continental Breakfast

Ingredients

• Cooking Spray
• 1 (16 oz) package, Regular Flavor. Jimmy Dean Pork Sausages
• 10 big eggs, gently beaten
• 3 cups milk.
• 2 teaspoons of dry mustard.
• 1 teaspoon salt.
• 6 cups of cubed bread.
• 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese.
• One medium tomato, seeded and sliced.
• 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms.
• ½ cup thinly chopped green onions
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.

Directions:

Step 1

Preheat your oven at 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius). Coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Step 2

Cook sausage in a large pan over medium-high heat, tossing regularly, until completely cooked and no longer pink, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the eggs, milk, dry mustard, and salt. Stir thoroughly.

Step 4

Divide half of the bread equally into the prepared dish. Sprinkle with 1/2 sausage, 1/2 cheese, 1/2 tomato, 1/2 mushroom, 1/2 green onion, and 1/2 black pepper. Repeat layering once more. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the casserole.

Step 5

Bake uncovered for 55-60 minutes, or until the eggs are set. Cover with foil if the top starts to brown too soon.

Notes

In most recipes, one 9.6-ounce container of fully cooked Jimmy Dean Hearty Sausage Crumbles may replace one 16-ounce bag of fresh breakfast sausage.
