One of my favorite things about this time of year is that I always get back into making breakfast casseroles!!!

What I love most about these casseroles is that you can throw a bunch of ingredients together and it always comes out AMAZING

In this recipe I added something special into it — day old bread. I hate having left over bread so I decided to add 2 cups of cut up bread into the dish — basically the bread soaks up the egg mixture and then cooks — so it adds texture and uses up leftover bread — win for everyone 🙂
I am SUPER happy how this recipe turned out — I know you will love it!

So this is my trick about making casseroles is that the meat I use has to be high quality – so I picked up pretty expensive sausage from Whole Foods — but it really added a lot of flavor to the dish – it was sundried tomato and basil chicken sausage

I also decided to add mushrooms ( even though I do not like them) since my whole family loves them

I also added a little bit of dried mustard — just to give it another level of flavor without a huge impact on the final cost

Here is my Dad cooking up the sausage for the casserole 🙂
