Cook the Sausage: Crumble the sausage into a medium skillet and cook over medium heat until evenly browned. Drain off any excess fat.
Mix the Casserole Base: In a medium bowl, whisk together the mustard powder, salt, eggs, and milk. Add the cooked sausage, bread cubes (or croutons), and shredded cheese. Stir until all ingredients are well coated.
Prepare for Baking: Transfer the mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Cover the dish and refrigerate for 8 hours, or overnight, allowing the flavors to meld.
Bake the Casserole: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the casserole, covered, for 45 to 60 minutes. Then, uncover, reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (165°C), and continue baking for an additional 30 minutes, or until the casserole is set and golden on top.
Serve and Enjoy: Cut the casserole into servings and enjoy the warm, cheesy goodness with your family on Christmas morning.
