Bakin’ With Bacon and the King!

Hello Bacon Lovers!   It’s ME – The King – NEXT Saturday is July 4th but I’m cooking up a 4th of July breakfast casserole with BACON today so you can have time to get the ingredients and make it for NEXT Saturday!

This is great for a crowd or a hungry family and maybe kind of fun to have a SPECIAL breakfast on July 4th (or any time).     I just know you’re going to like it.

Charleston Breakfast Casserole

INGREDIENTS

12 slices bacon

1/4 cup butter – melted

3 cups croutons (plain)

2 cups grated cheddar

6 eggs

1-3/4 cups milk

1 bell pepper (any color) – diced

1 tablespoon prepared mustard (any kind)

1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste

 

DIRECTIONS

1.  Place bacon in a large, deep skillet.  Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown – drain, crumble and set aside
2.  Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C)
3.  Melt butter in the microwave or a small pan on the stove over low heat.   Spray a 9×12 inch baking dish with vegetable spray – place croutons in the bottom of the dish and drizzle with melted butter.   Sprinkle with grated cheddar
4.  Crack eggs into a bowl and whisk to break up the yolks.  Add milk, peppers, mustard, salt, and pepper and beat until well-combined.  Pour mixture over croutons and cheese and sprinkle with the crumbled bacon
5.  Bake in preheated oven for 40 minutes – remove and let rest 10 minutes before serving

 

YES and I made an extra slice for YOU !

Doesn’t this just sound wonderful?   Well it is.    And really not a big deal to make either – most casseroles are just mixtures of yummy things tossed in together.    That’s why they’re fun to make and why more people enjoy them.    This one really is tasty.

Yep – there’s just something about that wonderful aroma…………………MMMMMMM!

Hope you have a Happy 4th of July and we will have ANOTHER July 4th recipe NEXT Saturday on THE BIG DAY.
