Crockpot Breakfast Casserole




Updated December 2020

This is absolutely the BEST ever! So easy, quick and convenient. I've made it many times for weekend gatherings with friends and family, or for my husband's workplace, and it always gets rave reviews. 

It is especially nice for Thanksgiving or Christmas morning, when something easy and satisfying is the key to everything! Spend a little time the night before, and wake up to this in the morning!  




RECIPE
Ingredients
1 bag frozen cubed potatoes (32 oz) 
1 lb bacon (diced, cooked and drained), ham (cooked and cubed) or sausage (cooked and crumbled) 
1 onion, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 1/2 cups sharp cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
1 dozen (12) eggs
1 cup milk
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper (more or less to taste)
Optional - sliced mushrooms, sliced jalapeno peppers or diced red peppers

Method
Place a layer of frozen potatoes on the bottom of the slow cooker, followed by a layer of bacon, ham or sausage; then onions, green pepper and cheese. 


Repeat the layering process two or three more times, ending with a layer of cheese. Beat the eggs, milk, salt and pepper together. Pour over the mixture in the slow cooker, cover and turn on low. Cook for 10-12 hours.


Serve with hot sauce or salsa and additional shredded cheese, if desired.
