Spicy Sausage & Apple Overnight Casserole

• 2 pounds bulk spicy pork sausage
• 3 medium tart apples, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch slices
• 12 cups cubed Italian bread
• 1-1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 9 large eggs
• 3 cups 2% milk
• 3/4 teaspoon yellow mustard

1. In a large skillet, cook and crumble sausage over medium heat until no longer pink, 6-8 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. Discard drippings, reserving 1 tablespoon. Add apples to drippings; cook and stir over medium heat until tender, 4-6 minutes.
2. In a bowl, combine sausage, apples, bread and cheese. Transfer to a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. In another bowl, whisk eggs, milk and mustard; pour over bread mixture. Refrigerate, covered, several hours or overnight.
3. Preheat oven to 350u0b0. Remove casserole from refrigerator while oven heats. Bake, covered, until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Uncover; bake until golden brown, 10-15 minutes longer. Let stand 5-10 minutes before serving.
4. Cover and freeze unbaked casserole. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Remove from refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Preheat oven to 350u0b0. Bake as directed, increasing time as needed or until golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
