How to Make Arkansas Breakfast Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cook 6 slices of bacon in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon and set aside, reserving 3 tablespoons of bacon grease.
  3. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper to the skillet. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in 3 cups cubed cooked potatoes (or 2 cups frozen hash browns, thawed) and cook until lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Sprinkle 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese over the vegetables and potatoes.
  6. In a bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1/4 cup milk, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  7. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cheese and vegetables.
  8. Crumble the reserved cooked bacon over the top.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the casserole is set and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
