Quick and Easy Bacon Cheddar Breakfast Pie
Quick and Easy Bacon Cheddar Breakfast Pie is an amazing breakfast or dinner recipe!
I made this Bacon Cheddar Breakfast Pie for the family tonight, and it was a huge hit, so I decided to share it with you. Obviously it's called Breakfast Pie, so you could eat it for breakfast, but I also love having breakfast for dinner, which you'll know if you've read my Chocolate Chip Waffles post. I was wanting quiche for dinner, but I had waited a bit too late to get a crust made and allow it to bake for 45 minutes, so I decided to change things up and get dinner ready in about a total of 45 minutes instead.
This recipe is made with Bisquick instead of making a pie crust, in order to save time. If you don't have Bisquick on hand, you can use Kerry's recipe for Homemade Bisquick mix.
📖 Recipe
Quick and Easy Bacon Cheddar Breakfast Pie
Ingredients
- 6 slices bacon
- 1 cup shredded cheddar
- ¼ cup green bell pepper
- ¼ cup onion
- ½ cup Bisquick
- ¼ teaspoon garlic salt
- dash of pepper
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup milk
Instructions
- Heat oven to 400 degrees.
- Place bacon on paper towels on a plate, placing paper towels in between layers of bacon and covering with one last paper towel. Microwave approximately 5 minutes, or until desired crispiness.
- While bacon is cooking, grease a pie plate and chop onion and green pepper.
- Spread cheese in the greased pie plate. Sprinkle onion and green pepper over it.
- Once bacon is done cooking and has cooled for a couple minutes, chop the bacon and sprinkle it in pie plate.
- In a medium bowl, mix the remaining ingredients until blended. Pour the wet mixture over the rest of the ingredients in the pie plate.
- Bake 35 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center of the pie comes out clean.
- Let the pie sit for several minutes before cutting it.
I was kind of worried while making this that the kids wouldn't like it. I just never know when I'm making something new. My kids are usually good eaters, but on occasion they decide they don't like it, and nothing will change their mind. But I'm glad to say that both of the kids gobbled up their Bacon Cheddar Breakfast Pie, and Little Man even had seconds!

I made this last night and used tomatos, onions & mushrooms. I cooked them first because I don't like crunchy onions. This was so good and my son ate all of his (he never does that) Thanks for sharing!
I love hearing how our readers like recipes! I bet it was delicious with tomatoes, onions and mushrooms! I'll have to try it that way, soon.

This looks yummy!
I'm a fan of Bisquick recipes also. I love how easy they are and how good the recipe turns out.
I haven't actually tried out too many Bisquick recipes. The last one I did was very doughy, and I really wanted this to be more eggy, so when I made this I made it with more eggs and less Bisquick, and I really liked how it turned out!
We made something similar in 8th grade it was delicious! Love it!
Sounds like it's time to try it again, Serena 😉
I've used this basic recipe for years and always change it up according to what I have on hand at the time. Sometimes I use mostly cheese and veggies. Broccoli is my favorite. You can also make a Southwest (ish) version or Italian. The possibilities are endless really.
I was actually thinking about what combinations would be the best. The bacon and cheddar was fabulous, but I'm thinking I may try and sneak in more veggies next time (Little Man loves his veggies, but Miss Magoo is in a veggie-hating stage right now). Italian sounds really good. Thanks for the ideas, Jan!
