Notes
You can substitute thick-cut bacon, turkey bacon (add 1 TBS olive oil when sautéing veggies), or crumbled breakfast sausage. Any onion variety works. You can use any bell pepper color or substitute 2 cups of your favorite vegetables. Extra sharp cheddar is recommended, but Colby jack, Swiss, pepper jack, or mozzarella also work well. For a vegetarian option, use 2 tablespoons of olive oil to sauté the vegetables. Cut into squares and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. To freeze, cool completely, cut into portions, and freeze in an airtight container for up to 2 months. Reheat in the microwave or oven.
