It's my new "go-to" recipe. I's also thinking of adding fresh diced tomatoes and pepperoni slices and serving it as a dinner...

I've been using this recipe for 20 years - holiday breakfast & Girlfriend Club brunches !~ I use ground bulk ground turkey sausage to cut back on osome of the fat and pizza seasoning replaces the spices listed. I also use a good Italian or french bread. ALWAYS a hit ! Any leftovers can easily be reheated in the micro for 30-45 seconds. I serve with fresh fruit & Monkey Bread.

Instead of removing casings on sausage, coul you buy the sausage that is in the tube?

This is a great recipe to use up left over bread. I had cut out some pumpkin shaped sandwiches for a Halloween party and didn't know what to do with the left over pieces of bread. This casserole was just the solution. Very easy to put together and very tasty, too. I am making this for Thanksgiving morning for my family.

I have been making this every year for the past 3 years @ Christmas and Easter. I have a crowd of 20 for breakfast on those holidays and they look forward to it every time. It is so easy to whip up and the clean up on those busy mornings is limited to one pan. The taste is yummy and it is very filling. We also serve it with french toast.
