Pumpkin French Toast Bake

Fall is upon us and that means let the pumpkin recipes commence! I know most people are still stuck on grilling and summer fun, but fall is my favorite time of year to cook and bake. This breakfast bake is yummy... posting it for my sister so she can make it for her "Tears & Cheers" back-to-school moms-only breakfast party. Enjoy!

-12 oz brown sugar & honey breakfast sausage links (could also use crumbled sausage)
-12 eggs
-1 (30 oz) can pumpkin pie filling
-1 (12 oz) can evaporated milk
-1 tsp cinnamon
-1 tsp vanilla
-15 slices white bread, cubed
-confectioners' sugar
-maple syrup

Cook sausage according to package directions. Cool slightly; if using links, cut into 1/4 inch slices. In a very large bowl, whisk eggs, pie filling, milk, cinnamon and vanilla. Add sausage and bread, stir to coat. Transfer to a greased 13x9 baking dish. Bake uncovered at 35o for 35-40 minutes or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Dust with confectioners' sugar. Serve with syrup.

Makes 12 servings.
