Ingredients
Scale
- 8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 small red bell pepper, diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for sautéing)
- Cooking spray or butter (for greasing the baking dish)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cook the Bacon and Sausage: In a large skillet, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and crumble. In the same skillet, cook the sausage until browned. Drain excess grease.

- Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before cutting into squares to serve.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider adding chopped green onions or fresh herbs like parsley or chives on top after baking.
- For a spicy kick, add chopped jalapeños or red pepper flakes to the egg mixture.
- This casserole can be made a day ahead and reheated in the oven before serving. It also freezes well for meal prep.
