For the Casserole
  • 1 pound sliced bacon diced

Notes

This casserole is a crowd-pleaser and can be prepared ahead of time. For a make-ahead option, assemble the casserole but do not bake. Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. You may need to add a few extra minutes to the baking time if baking directly from the refrigerator.
