I'm going to try making this strata with different types of bread. I think it would be good with a hearty whole wheat bread or a sweet challah bread.

This strata is a great way to use up leftover bread. I used a loaf of sourdough bread and it worked perfectly.

I topped the strata with shredded cheddar cheese before baking it. It gave the strata a nice golden brown crust.

I added some diced green peppers and onions to the chili cheese filling. It gave the strata a nice crunch.

I'm not a big fan of spice, so I used mild chili. The strata was still flavorful, but not too spicy for me.

This is a great recipe for using up leftover chili. I always have a few cans of chili in my pantry, so it's nice to have a recipe that I can use them in.
