Wow, this was wonderful! My husband is a huge bacon lover so I knew he would love it - he went back for more! I didn't have a green pepper, but it didn't seem to matter. I was out of marjoram as well, but the thyme, salt, pepper, and a little garlic powder flavored the can of yes, plain diced tomatoes, as I didn't have any stewed either. I used closer to 2 cups of cheese instead of 1 cup. I will use this recipe often! Oh, I baked the whole pack of bacon on foil lined half sheet pan in the oven - it does a great job, and so much easier. Thanks so much for a great casserole!
