    Ingredients

    • 1 pound bulk pork sausage
    • 10 cups cubed day-old French bread
    • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
    • 1 can (4 ounces) mushroom stems and pieces, drained
    • 5 green onions, chopped
    • 6 large eggs
    • 2-3/4 cups half-and-half cream
    • 1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chiles, drained
    • 1-1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 1/4 teaspoon ground mustard
    • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
    • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
    • 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce

    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.
    3. Preheat oven to 350°. Remove strata from refrigerator while oven heats. Bake, uncovered, until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean, 45-50 minutes. Let stand 5-10 minutes before cutting.
