Notes
I used Jimmy Dean regular pork sausage. Any brand/variety will work well.
I used regular white sandwich bread. A crusty variety is just fine though, too.
If you don't have dry mustard, you can substitute 1 tablespoon of yellow mustard or Dijon mustard in its place.
You can substitute any variety of shredded cheese in place of the cheddar, such as colby jack, provolone, pepper jack, etc.
Leftovers will keep in the fridge for 4–5 days. Warm up in the microwave or oven.
To freeze, place a double layer of foil over the UNCOOKED casserole and freeze for up to 1 month. Defrost in the refrigerator for 24 hours, remove the foil, and then bake as directed.
