Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the mixture.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix breadcrumbs with melted butter and then sprinkle the mixture over the cheese layer.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the casserole is heated through and the top is golden brown and crispy.

Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before sprinkling the crumbled bacon on top.
