Instructions
Step 1
Heat oven to 350°. Grease a 9" x 13" baking dish with butter. Lay bread slices, overlapping slightly, over bottom of dish. Heat a 12" skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage; cook, stirring and breaking up meat into large crumbles until browned, 5–7 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer sausage to dish and arrange over bread.
