Garden Bacon Monkey Bread

Garden Bacon Monkey Bread

• 4 cans biscuits - cut into 1/3
• 1/4 cup melted butter
• 1/4 cup real bacon pieces
• 1 green pepper - diced
• 1 red pepper - diced
• 1 jalapeno
• 1/2 red onion
• mushrooms
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• Mix all ingredients thoroughly
• Spray bunt pan
• Bake 350 for 30 - 35 minutes (I baked mine longer because it almost filled the pan) and used a knife to check if done.
• Flip onto plate - immediately after removing from oven

Everyone thought it looked like fruit cake - it was wonderful.  The original recipe called for 1/4 cup each of the following - real bacon pieces, green pepper and red pepper.  I added the jalapeno, onion and mushrooms, but you could add any vegetable you would like.
