I learned to cook this sausage casserole a few years ago. It was almost Christmas when I vacate my parent’s house and moved to my place. I was very happy and my parents were super proud. It’s the best Christmas present ever! And to give thanks, I invited my family and friends over on Christmas eve. In the morning I found my Mom in the kitchen, preparing breakfast. She asked me to help her and in return taught me how to make this breakfast sausage casserole. I love this even as a child, although, my Mom for some reason only prepares this during Christmas. It’s a simple, flavorful, easy to make a breakfast meal that will always have a special place in my heart. Now even if I’m away from the place where I grew up, I kinda feel like I’m still home with my family because of this casserole.
Ingredients

How to make Christmas Breakfast Sausage Casserole
Step 1: In a medium skillet, crumble the sausage. Cook the sausage over medium heat until evenly brown. Drain any excess fat.
Step 2: Mix mustard powder, salt, eggs, and milk in a medium bowl. Stir in the cooked sausage, bread cubes, and cheese. Combine well until incorporated.
Step 3: Empty the mixture into a greased 9 x 13-inch baking dish. Don’t forget to cover before placing it inside the fridge. Chill for 8 hours or overnight.
Step 4: When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F to 175 degrees C.
Step 5: Remove from the fridge. Place inside the preheated oven, still covered. Bake for 45 to 60 minutes. Then, bake uncovered for another 30 minutes over 325 degrees F or 165 degrees C.
