Cut the bread into one-inch cubes. Spread in the bottom of a greased 9-by-13-by-2 casserole dish.
In a medium skillet, brown the sausage over medium heat until fully cooked (and no longer pink). Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon to drain the fat. Spread the cooked sausage over the bread. Top with cheese.
