Instructions
1
Cook and Drain Bacon
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Start by cooking the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until it’s nice and crispy, about 10 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to take the bacon out and let it drain on some paper towels. Keep just 2 tablespoons of the bacon drippings in the skillet and discard the rest.
2
Cook Veggies and Melt Cheese
Add the potatoes, mushrooms, peppers, and onions to those drippings, and cook everything for about 10 minutes, stirring now and then, until the peppers and onions are tender but still have a little bite. Stir in the VELVEETA until it melts and everything is combined. Transfer this mixture to a greased 13x9-inch baking dish.
3
Mix Eggs and Bacon
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and sour cream until smooth, then fold in the crispy bacon. Pour this over the veggies in the baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
4
Bake Until Set
Pop the casserole in the oven and bake for around 40 minutes, or until the center feels set and it’s warmed through. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving and enjoy!

Storage Tips
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave to keep the cheese creamy and the casserole warm. You can also freeze portions for up to 1 month; thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
