Chicken breasts come in varying sizes, even within the same package. Cut any extra-large breasts in half. This would then count as two.

Browning the bread crumbs before using them to bread the chicken makes them extra crispy and ensures even browning.

Call it a strata, a stuffing, a dressing or a savory bread pudding—by any name, this dish is delish! It’s the perfect make-ahead for a special brunch, or serve it with a side salad for dinner; either way, it’s certainly nice enough for company. But what’s even nicer is that this dish features well-loved and easy-to-find ingredients, like breakfast sausage and Cheddar cheese. So make your next brunch feel just a little fancier with this flavorful new twist on a bready breakfast bake!

make ahead sausage and mushroom savory bread pudding

Short on time? You can skip the refrigeration step. Bake uncovered 30 to 35 minutes or until at least 165°F in center and knife inserted 1 inch from edge comes out clean.

We tested with bagged, preshredded white Cheddar cheese. So feel free to save time shredding, and choose the easier option. 

When cooking mushrooms and onions, remember that color equals flavor. If you get them meltingly soft and deeply browned, they will add considerably more flavor than if they are just barely tender and lightly browned. 

Fresh parsley, chives and thyme add a beautiful finishing touch and loads of flavor as well. But if you need to save time or you have trouble finding all of the herbs, you can leave one out. There’s no need to add more of the others. 

In our test kitchens, we love using the pre-peeled vacuum-packed garlic available in the produce section of many grocery stores. The vacuum sealing maintains freshness and quality, and it’s a great time-saver. 

When shopping for mushrooms, look for mushrooms with firm caps, good color, no soft spots or decay. 

Store mushrooms unwashed and wrapped in paper towel in a plastic or paper bag. They’ll keep in the refrigerator for up to four days. Wash mushrooms right before using.

There’s a lot of conflicting advice out there about how to clean mushrooms or whether you need to. Whatever you’ve heard, you must clean mushrooms. They grow in dirt and regularly have more dirt on them than any other vegetable at the grocery store. The best way to clean mushrooms is by submerging them in a bowl of cold water and wiping off any remaining dirt with a soft towel or sturdy paper towel. Your mushrooms will take on a negligible amount of water, if any at all, with this cleaning method. Removing mushroom stems can make them easier to clean and cut. If you like to leave your stems on, trim the ends before cleaning to freshen them up—the ends tend to look bruised and dark. 

This recipe was inspired by our love of <a href="https://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/old-fashioned-bread-pudding/790f3338-59c6-4312-a3c1-3e4d0cf6b101" target=_blank>bread pudding</a>, which typically includes cubed bread mixed with milk, egg, sugar and spices. This savory spin also reminds us of Thanksgiving’s most beloved dish—the stuffing—and since it features breakfast sausage, it also brings to mind a strata—another bread-heavy baked dish that includes eggs and cheese and is often served at breakfast or brunch. So whatever you want to call this dish, you can be assured it’s as delicious as the dishes that inspired it!

Quintessential to almost all holiday meals, but most famously eaten on Turkey day, Thanksgiving mashed potatoes are the one side that’s truly adored by everyone. That's why we're showing you how to make mashed potatoes ahead of time, with nothing more than a few pounds of spuds, milk, butter, cream, salt and pepper. Make-ahead mashed potatoes can be prepped in just 25 minutes, and you can even make them the night before, so come dinnertime you can stress a little less knowing all you have to do is pop your prepped casserole dish in the oven.

homemade make ahead mashed potatoes

When something as delicious as mashed potatoes is involved, it’s no wonder there’s some jostling for credit about who invented the iconic dish. Some food historians say that 17th century England was the birthplace of our now-beloved mashed potatoes and gravy, while others credit a 1771 potato-making competition hosted by a Frenchman named Antoine Parmentier as the event that started the centuries-long craze. While we may never know the whole story, we can offer you plenty of information on the whole potato, from savory skin to meltingly soft insides, in this <a href="https://www.bettycrocker.com/menus-holidays-parties/mhplibrary/holidays/how-to-make-mashed-potatoes">guide to making perfect mashed potatoes every time</a> (hint: don’t forget the cream cheese). If you’d like to add some creative twists to this basic recipe, check out <a href="https://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/main-ingredient/potatoes/mashed">Betty’s collection of best mashed potatot recipes</a> which includes add-ins like garlic, pesto, ranch, wasabi, beer, Asiago, bacon, Brie, parsley and chipotle (not all at once, but hey, you could try). There are even versions of cauliflower and pumpkin mash, as well.

Recipe meets Kitchen Tested criteria.  Reviewed as part of project  MSO-5941 BC Audit 200 recipes

A 2-quart oval casserole holds the same amount of potatoes as an 8x8x2-inch baking dish.

Drying the potatoes for a bit after boiling them ensures the potatoes will be fluffier than if they are waterlogged. Russet or Idaho potatoes are the best variety to use in this recipe. They're easier to peel, light and starchy. Use either an old-fashioned handheld potato masher (the kind with a grid head works particularly well) or an electric hand mixer, just be watchful the potatoes don’t become overworked and gluey.

Warm milk slightly so that potatoes stay hot while mixing. This can be done in the microwave or in a small saucepan on the stovetop.
