Bakin’ With Bacon and the King

Saturday in the Castle – that means BACON!

Good morning fans of bacon.    Got a good one for you this morning even though we’ve done our share of bacon casseroles – this is just a little different.    It’s also VERY yummy.

 

“CHARLESTON BREAKFAST CASSEROLE”

 

INGREDIENTS:   (MAKES EIGHT SERVINGS – GREAT FOR A GROUP OR SPECIAL OCCASION OR FOR TWO STARVING PEOPLE!)

12 slices bacon

1/4 cup butter, melted

3 cups croutons

2 cups grated cheddar cheese

6 large eggs

1-3/4 cups milk

1 bell pepper (any color) diced

1 tablespoon mustard (any type will do)

1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS:

• Step 1

  Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside.

• Step 2

  Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

• Step 3

  Melt butter in the microwave, or in 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 cheese.

• Step 4

  Crack the eggs into a bowl, whisking to break up the yolks. Add milk, peppers, mustard, salt, and pepper, and beat until well-combined. Pour over the croutons and cheese, and sprinkle with crumbled bacon.

• Step 5

  Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to stand 10 minutes before serving.
