Ingredients
  

8 slices of thick-cut bacon, chopped

1 large onion, diced

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 cup baby spinach, chopped

10 large eggs

1 cup whole milk

1 teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup diced cooked potatoes (or frozen hash browns)

¼ cup chopped fresh chives (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Cook the Bacon: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving the grease in the skillet.

      Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the diced onion and red bell pepper. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until softened. Add the chopped spinach and cook for another 2 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat.

        Whisk Eggs: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.

          Combine Ingredients: In a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, layer the diced potatoes (or hash browns), followed by the sautéed vegetable mixture. Sprinkle the cooked bacon over the vegetables, then pour the egg mixture evenly on top. Finally, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the entire casserole.

            Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the casserole is set and the cheese is golden and bubbly.

              Garnish and Serve: Allow the casserole to cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped chives before slicing into squares and serving warm.
