"A fabulous recipe! My family and I host an annual Christmas Brunch the Saturday before Christmas Day. We make three batches of this, and it always disappears.It seems like everybody loves this. If you want a spicier dish, try adding 1 (4oz) can of green chilis and/ or 1/3 tsp red pepper."

This was really yummy! I liked how easy it was to prepare. I went right by the directions, with the exception that I used only 1/2 cup melted butter. I brushed it on both sides of the bread until I had used it all, and it seemed to be plenty. I used a slightly larger dish than a 9x13" to be able to get all 8 slices of bread in the dish. I browned the sausage and sauteed the mushrooms earlier in the day, then finished preparing it before bedtime. Thanks for posting!

I have a new found passion for cooking. I live in a house of six people, so lots of guinea pigs to try my culinary masterpieces on. They are actually closer to culinary experiments of questionable edibility, but I am trying to be positive. And I am only fourteen, so I have some time to perfect my skills <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg">
