If baking immediately, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9 x 13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
In a skillet, cook the bacon until crisp, then remove to paper towels to drain. Reserve 2 T. of bacon drippings in the pan. Cook the red bell pepper until it begins to soften, then add the green onion. Season with salt and black pepper. Add olive oil to the pan, if needed. Cook for 1 minute, then remove from the heat.
In a large mixing bowl, mix the cooked onion and bell peppers with the remaining ingredients, reserving a few bacon crumbles, green onion and 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese for the top. Spread evenly into the baking dish.
Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top. Bake 50 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden. Let rest for 10 minutes, then serve.
