01
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Start by cooking the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it’s nice and crispy—this should take about 10 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, then pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the bacon drippings from the skillet.

Step 2
Add the potatoes, mushrooms, peppers, and onions to the skillet with the reserved drippings. Cook everything together for about 10 minutes, stirring now and then, until the peppers and onions are just tender but still have a bit of crunch. Stir in the VELVEETA cheese until it melts and everything is well combined, then spread this mixture evenly into a greased 13x9-inch baking dish.

Step 3
In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs and sour cream until smooth. Fold in the cooked bacon, then pour this mixture over the veggies and cheese in the baking dish, making sure it’s evenly distributed.

Step 4
Pop the casserole into the oven and bake for about 40 minutes, or until the center is set and the whole thing is heated through. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving, and enjoy!
