The variations are endless for this type of dish. The bacon can be replaced with sausage, hot or mild. You could use frozen hash brown and the hash browns with the onion and bell pepper already in it. Almost any vegetable could be used, what do you like? Go for it, anything is possible.

“This is one of those dishes that we have every time we camp out or have friends over for Sunday Brunch in the backyard. Oh, so easy and a pleaser.”
