Italian Sausage Cheddar Strata Recipe

submitted by reader Trisha Kruse of Eagle, ID

Ingredients
10 slices day-old bread
1 pound mild Italian sausage, casings removed
1 medium onion, diced
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1 cup red pepper, diced
8 ounces shredded Monterey Jack cheese
8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
8 eggs
3 cups whole milk
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
2 teaspoons finely minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups prepared spaghetti sauce, warmed
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a 13-by-9-inch pan.
2. Trim crusts from bread and cube.
3. Crumble sausage into a large skillet; sauté with onion, mushrooms and pepper. Place half the bread cubes in prepared pan, top with half the sausage mixture and half the cheese; repeat layers. In a medium bowl whisk eggs, milk, Italian seasoning, garlic and salt; pour over the filled casserole. Let stand 15 minutes so bread can soak up egg mixture. Bake for 60 to 70 minutes or until set. Let stand 10 minutes, cut into squares and serve drizzled with warm spaghetti sauce.
