Step 1

Step 1
How to make potato casserole with bacon and cheese in the oven? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Rinse medium potatoes thoroughly and dry them with paper towels.

Step 2

Step 2
Cut the peeled potatoes into rings about 3 mm thick. If you want, boil it in salted water for about 3-4 minutes, remove with a slotted spoon onto paper towels to absorb excess moisture. Then the cooking time for the casserole in the oven will be reduced to about 30 minutes. I didnʼt boil it.

Step 3

Step 3
Rinse the zucchini, dry it with paper towels and also cut into slices about 3-5 mm thick. If you have a young zucchini, it is not necessary to peel the skin. Peel the overripe zucchini, cut in half, remove the seeds, and cut into half rings.

Step 4

Step 4
Cut the bell pepper in half and remove the seeds. Chop half the pepper however you like. I cut it into strips, but you can also use larger pieces.

Cut the bacon strips in half and lightly fry in a dry frying pan on both sides until lightly browned.

Grease a baking dish with vegetable oil. Place potato slices, bacon and zucchini in a single layer and spread bell pepper on top. Another variant. If you want, place the vegetables on the edge, alternating with each other. Top with bacon and pepper. Vegetarians can skip the bacon altogether.

Step 11

Step 11
Cover the pan with foil and place in an oven preheated to 170 degrees. Bake for 45-50 minutes. Determine the exact baking time and temperature based on your oven.

Step 12

Step 12
I will offer a delicious option for serving this vegetable casserole. While itʼs baking, prepare the omelet. To do this, lightly beat 2-3 eggs with a fork, add salt and pepper. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan. Pour in the egg mixture and fry the omelette until cooked, stirring occasionally. Place the omelette on the prepared casserole and garnish with slices of fresh tomatoes.

Step 13
