Ingredients

• 6 eggs

• 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
• 10 slices bacon

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Whisk eggs, milk, garlic powder, black pepper, salt, and paprika together in a large bowl. Pour over layers in the casserole dish.

Step 2

Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels, then crumble into pieces.

Step 3

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease the bottom and sides of a 9x13-inch casserole dish.

Step 4

Layer potatoes, bell peppers, onion, and jalapeño in the prepared casserole dish. Sprinkle 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese on top. Scatter bacon pieces over Cheddar.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until set, about 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and top with remaining 1/2 cup Cheddar. Continue baking until cheese is melted and golden, about 10 more minutes.
