    Recipe Tips

    You can use low-fat, low-moisture shredded mozzarella and skip the butter and meat for a healthier version. It tastes just as amazing!

    You can use turkey bacon or Canadian ham instead of bacon if desired.

    The casserole can be made the night before and refrigerated or frozen for later.
