Cheese Sausage Strata

Hey there! It's been a while since I've contributed. I guess I don't feel I have much experience to be helpful, so I learn from you guys. I love this blog, it's so great!

Anyway, this recipe is really easy and super good.

1 1/2 lb pork sausage (I didn't have regular sausage so I used maple flavored sausages and took the casings off. It tasted SO good.)
9 eggs, lightly beaten
3 c milk
9 slices bread, cubed
1 1/2 c (6 oz) shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 lb sliced bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 1/2 tsp ground mustard

In large skillet, cook sausage over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Add eggs, milk, bread, cheese, bacon and mustard. Transfer to a greased shallow 3-qt baking dish. Cover and refrigerate overnight. (I didn't refrigerate and it was great)
Remove from refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 60-65 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes our clean. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
