Cheddar and Chorizo Strata image

Stratas are a wonderful way to use up bits and pieces of leftovers you have on hand. You can make them meatless or substitute the cheeses and the meats. This dish can be made a day before baking. If you like more heat, use pepper jack cheese. -Kallee Krong-McCreery, Escondido, California

I followed the recipe exactly, but my strata didn't turn out as well as I hoped. It was a little bit bland.
