So, my daughter-in-law served this awesome dish and I was like, 'I need this recipe, pronto!'

- To make this dish vegetarian-friendly, omit the bacon and chicken, and substitute with a can of drained and rinsed white beans or chickpeas.
- Feel free to mix in other herbs such as rosemary or oregano for a different flavor profile.
- If you want to add a little crunch, sprinkle the top with a mixture of breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese 10 minutes before the end of baking.
- To make this dish ahead of time, assemble the casserole, cover, and refrigerate. Add an extra 10-15 minutes to the baking time when you're ready to cook it.
