VARIATION - BACON ASPARAGUS STRATA: Prepare as above,
except replace sausage with 8 strips of bacon that have
been crisp-cooked, drained, and chopped, and replace
mushrooms with one 9 oz. package frozen cut asparagus,
thawed and well-drained. Combine bacon, asparagus, and red
peppers in a medium bowl rather than a skillet. And, use
12 ounces of shredded Swiss cheese in place of the
American cheese.
