Ingredients
    1/2 pound sliced bacon, cut into 1/4-inch strips
    2 medium onions, chopped
    1 large red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
    2 pound sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
    1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme

Preparation
Cook bacon in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until crisp. Transfer to paper towels, reserving fat in skillet.

Add onions, bell pepper, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper to skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened. Stir in potatoes and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender and starting to brown, 10 to 14 minutes. Stir in thyme, bacon, and salt and pepper to taste.

Okay,
so here are the fixins for this savory AND sweet breakfast casserole.

Not a lot of ingredients, eh?

---

Let's start by peeling and chopping the sweet potatoes into cubes.

---

By the way, isn't this vintage FireKing tulip bowl cool???
These bowls came in a set of three or four, I forget.

I only have this size, but I think it's the largest size of the set.

---

So anyhoo,

cut up your red peppers and onions.

---

Fry up my boyfriend Bacon.

Hi Bacon, you sexy little........porker you.

---

Drain my boyfriend on paper towels.

By the way, don't be concerned, Tim is aware of my affair with Bacon. I informed him in this post; he was pretty broken up about it as you can read.

---

Leave the bacon grease in the pan (really, why throw out all that low fat, healthy goodness??) and throw in the red peppers and onions and a little salt and pepper....

Stir the vegetables occasionally, until softened.
By the way, this begins to create a very enticing aroma in the kitchen.
Beware, your kids will start coming in the kitchen and bugging you and asking when it will be done.
Even if your kids are 22 and 28.

Stir in the sweet potatoes and cook, covered, until potatoes are tender and just starting to brown...about 10-14 minutes.

Then add your thyme and salt and pepper..

********** BRING ON THE BACON!!!
************

---

And voila!

You're ready to plate up this terrific breakfast dish!

---

Yeah Baby!!!!

I don't want your food Grandma, I want that shiny metal thing you keep sticking in my face.

And a Big Yeah to this baby too!!!Except  this yittle baby is still a yittle too small for the savoriness of this dish.
No Little Boy Blue, you can not have my bacony, red pepper, sweet potatoey goodness.

This dish was a tad addictive.
The flavors of the red peppers and sweet potatoes brought the sweetness. And the bacon, thyme and onions brought on the savory.

I plated mine up with an egg and it was delicious.

---

Well, I hope you make this recipe sometime. Five ingredients is all!
And so tasty!

Even Little Chunkmeister here hopes everyone will make this dish too.

He also hopes one day his Grandma will give him that shiny metal camera thing so he can gnaw on it.

For now though, he's content humoring his momma by letting her love on him.
