It was a rainy morning so fired up the oven and made this recipe. It was a good and hearty breakfast. I used bacon and frozen peppers and onions. I also used four blend cheese as that is what I had. I just mixed everything in a mixing bowl together and poured into a pan and cooked. It was good. We really enjoyed it.
