Johnsonville French Toast Bake

(I haven't tried this one either, but it sure sounds interesting)

1 package (12 oz.) Johnsonville brown sugar and honey breakfast links
12 eggs
1 can (30 oz.) pumpkin pie filling
1 can (12 oz.) evaporated milk
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. vanilla
15 slices of white bread, cubed
Confectioners' sugar
Maple syrup

Cook sausage according to package directions. Cool slightly; cut into 1/4 in. slices.
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, pie filling, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla.
In a very large bowl, combine sausage and cubed bread.
Add pumpkin mixture; stir to coat. Transfer to a greased 13 x 9 dish.

Bake uncovered at 350 for 35-40 min. or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Dust with confectioners sugar.
Serve with syrup.
12 servings.
