Sausage and Spinach Strata

Serves 8-12

Ingredients:

Directions:

1. Place sausage and onion in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until evenly brown. Add sliced mushrooms and cook until browned, about 5 minutes.
2. Drain any excess oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste, and set aside.
3. Layer bread cubes, sausage mixture, and Swiss cheese in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish. In a bowl, beat together the thawed Spinach Soufflé, mushroom soup, eggs, milk, salt, mustard, and cayenne. Pour the egg mixture over the bread cube mixture. Cover, and refrigerate at least 8 hours or overnight.
4. Remove the casserole from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking.
5. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Bake 50 minutes, uncovered, in preheated oven. Sprinkle with the shredded cheddar and bake another 10 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
