This makes a great breakfast when you prepare it the night before, or you can omit soaking overnight (this works especially well with fresh bread). I must confess, I had some Texas Toast in my freezer that I defrosted and used in place of buttered bread (it probably would have worked frozen too). I used regular milk in place of the cream. Feel free to double the recipe or cut if half. Recipe courtesy of My Great Recipes 1989.

1 lb bulk sausage
4 -6 slices bread, remove crusts

1 teaspoon dry mustard
