  • Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels and crumble when cool enough to handle.

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Remove casserole from the refrigerator and bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes.
