Southwest Strata

Recipesfull introduces to you: Breakfast Casserole Recipes. (Southwest Strata). Easy, inexpensive, and tasty. A savory moist alternative to pasta or potatoes, great as a side with grilled meat or poultry, or a main course with a side of greens. A great way to use stale bread (save in the freezer - mix and match, even bagels, but nothing sweet for this recipe!)
