How to Make Amish Breakfast Casserole
- Cook 1/2 pound bacon, diced, and 1/2 cup chopped onion in a large skillet over medium heat until bacon is crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon, setting aside.
- Drain excess grease from the skillet, reserving about 2 tablespoons for later use.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1 1/2 cups milk, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder.
- Add 4 cups shredded cheddar cheese, 4 cups cooked and crumbled potatoes (about 2 pounds), and the cooked bacon and onion to the egg mixture. Stir gently to combine.
- If desired, stir in 1/2 cup chopped bell peppers (red, green, or a mix).
- Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Bake, uncovered, at 350°F (175°C) for 35-40 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean and the casserole is set.
- Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting and serving. Enjoy!
