Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cheesy Bacon and Potato Breakfast Casserole.

1. Step 1

   Start by heating a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the bacon.

2. Step 2

   Cook it for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until it’s beautifully browned and crispy.

3. Step 3

   Once done, transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain, then crumble it into bite-sized pieces.

4. Step 4

   While the bacon cools, preheat your oven to a toasty 425°F (220°C) and take a moment to grease the bottom and sides of a 9x13-inch casserole dish to ensure nothing sticks.

5. Step 5

   Now, let’s build our delicious layers! Begin by adding the diced potatoes, vibrant red and orange bell peppers, red onion, and a kick of jalapeño into the prepared dish.

6. Step 6

   Sprinkle half a cup of shredded Cheddar cheese over the top, followed by the crumbled bacon for that savory goodness.

7. Step 7

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, skim milk, garlic powder, black pepper, salt, and paprika until everything is well blended and frothy.

8. Step 8

   Pour this creamy mixture over the colorful layers in your casserole dish, making sure it seeps into all the nooks and crannies.

9. Step 9

   Slide the dish into your preheated oven and let it bake for about 35 minutes, or until the egg mixture is set and firm.

10. Step 10

    When the time is up, take the casserole out and sprinkle the remaining half cup of Cheddar cheese on top.

11. Step 11
