Directions

  1. In a large skillet, cook sausage over medium heat until no longer pink, breaking into crumbles, 5-7 minutes; drain and set aside. Place bread cubes in a greased 13×9-inch baking dish. Top with cheese, mushrooms, green onions and cooked sausage.

  2. In a large bowl, whisk remaining ingredients. Pour over layers. Refrigerate, covered, overnight.
