Remove and discard casings from sausage. Cook in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring until sausage crumbles. When sausage is no longer pink, drain. Add onion powder, zucchini, salt and pepper to skillet. Sauté 4 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Stir in roasted bell peppers. Drain mixture and cool.

Spread 4 cups bread cubes in a lightly greased 13x9" baking dish. Top with half of sausage mixture and cheese. Repeat with remaining bread, sausage and cheese.

Whisk together eggs and milk. Pour mixture over the bread.
