Recipe View 10 mins Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before cutting into squares and serving. This allows the casserole to set slightly, making it easier to slice and serve. (10 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of garlic powder or onion powder to the bacon and onion mixture while cooking.
Feel free to customize the cheese blend to your liking. Monterey Jack, Gruyere, or pepper jack would all be delicious additions.
If you're not a fan of green bell peppers, you can substitute them with red bell peppers or even a diced jalapeño for a bit of heat.
This casserole can be assembled ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator overnight. Just add a few extra minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
Serve with a side of fresh fruit, toast, or a dollop of sour cream or salsa for a complete and satisfying meal.

    I was skeptical about the cottage cheese, but it adds such a nice creaminess. Will definitely make this again!

    This recipe is a lifesaver! I made it for a brunch with friends, and everyone raved about it. So easy to put together, and it tastes amazing!

  • Lorenz Yundt

    My family loves this! I swap out the green chilies for a can of diced tomatoes sometimes, depending on what I have on hand.

  • Rita Quitzon

    The perfect make-ahead breakfast! I prepped it the night before and baked it in the morning. Delicious and stress-free!

  • Conrad Lang

    I've made this casserole several times now, and it's always a hit. I like to add a layer of sausage for extra protein.
