Ingredients
1 pound ground pork sausage - maple-flavoured or spicy sausage also works well
1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
1 tsp. mustard powder
1/2 tsp. salt
6 eggs, beaten
2 cups milk
6 slices white bread, cut into cubes - experiment with other types of bread
8 ozs sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded
NOTE: you can add other veggies i.e. mushrooms, red pepper etc. - be sure to cook these along with the sausage and onion and use a large pan, as needed. It is also nice to sprinkle some additional cheese on top before baking.
Directions
Crumble sausage into a medium skillet add onion. Cook over medium heat until evenly brown; drain.
In a medium bowl, mix together mustard powder, salt, eggs and milk. Add the sausage, bread cubes, and cheese, and stir to coat evenly.
Pour into a greased 9x9 inch baking dish.
Cover, and chill in the refrigerator for 8 hours, or overnight - this is very important - cannot be prepared and cooked right away or it will be mushy!
Preheat oven to 350F
Cover, and bake 45 to 60 minutes. Uncover, and reduce temperature to 325F. Bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until set.
Recipe can easily be doubled and placed in a 9x13 inch pan
4-6 Servings
