"Another do ahead casserole. Great for a buffet, especially around Cristmas , the colored peppers show through. If you wish lightly saute the peppers with the onion and mushrooms. I prefer them crisp.Nicely flavored combination."

We liked this a lot. It has a quiche-like consistancy, and the flavors mingled very well. I used half & halk, which worked fine. Do be careful to watch the bacon so it doesn't burn! Thanks Bergy, made for My 3 Chefs Fall 2008.
