Breakfast and Brunch Recipe ⇝ Manda's Breakfast Casserole

A hearty breakfast casserole that packs in plenty of veggies, meat, and topped with warm cheese. Add any cooked breakfast meat you would like instead of bacon. Top with salsa for a fresh kick.

Ingredients

• 10 slices bacon
• 5 red potatoes, diced
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 1 orange bell pepper, diced
• ½ red onion, diced
• 1 jalapeno pepper, diced
• 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
• 6 eggs
• ¾ cup skim milk
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon paprika

Cooking Directions

1. Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels; crumble into pieces.
2. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease bottom and sides of a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
3. Layer potatoes, red bell pepper, orange bell pepper, onion, and jalapeno pepper in the casserole dish. Sprinkle 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese on top. Scatter bacon pieces over the cheese.
4. Whisk eggs, milk, garlic powder, black pepper, salt, and paprika together in a large bowl. Pour over layers in the casserole dish.
5. Bake in the preheated oven until set, about 35 minutes. Remove from oven and top with remaining 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese. Continue baking until cheese is melted and golden, about 10 minutes more.
