Cook the ground beef with ½ the parsley and thyme and all of the garlic powder and garlic salt.

Lay half the potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer.  Top with half the cheese and half the meat.  Lay the remaining potatoes on top with the remaining cheese and meat.  Top that with the sweet pepper and the bacon.

Turn the oven on to broil.  Place the potatoes in the center of the over (Not right under the heat element, but a little lower) and cook for about 5 minutes – until the cheese melts and the bacon is crispy.
