Saute the pepper and mushrooms in a bit of the bacon grease until tender.

Melt butter in the microwave, or in a small pan on the stove over low heat.
Spray a 9x12 inch baking dish with vegetable spray.
Place croutons in the bottom of the dish, and drizzle with melted butter.
Beat the eggs in a bowl and add milk, crumbled bacon, peppers, onion, mushrooms, salt, and pepper, and mix until well-combined.
Pour over the croutons and cheese and top with remaining cheese.
Bake for 40 minutes to an hour, until the eggs are done.
