How to Make Breakfast Sausage Casserole

1. Cook the sausage: Crumble sausage into a medium skillet and cook over medium heat until evenly browned. Drain excess fat.
2. Mix wet ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together mustard powder, salt, eggs, and milk.
3. Combine everything: Add sausage, bread cubes, and cheese into the egg mixture. Stir until coated evenly.
4. Chill overnight: Pour into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or overnight.
