Looking for a no-fuss hot breakfast? It takes very little time or effort to put together a sausage strata. (The Minnesota Star Tribune)

If you have 20 minutes to spare, you can put together a breakfast casserole. All it takes is a little prep work, then assembly. Cover the casserole and refrigerate overnight and pop it in the oven in the morning.

Stratas are timesavers because they are easy to prepare and assemble a day ahead. Whether you are looking for a no-fuss, tasty recipe or need something to feed out-of-town company, this breakfast dish fits the bill. This strata uses sweet Italian sausage, but you can substitute any other breakfast sausage, including turkey sausage.
