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 13x9-in. 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.
