Slow Cooker Breakfast Casserole
Crockpot Breakfast Casserole is full of sausage, bacon, egg, cheese and potatoes. Prep it the night before and let it cook while you sleep.
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 12 eggs
- ½ cup milk
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup onion diced
- 1 cup bell pepper, any color diced
- 1 pound bacon cooked and chopped
- 1 cup cooked crumbled breakfast sausage
- 1 pound refrigerated hash browns if frozen, thaw first.
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- Optional: fresh parsley, chives, or green onion for garnish
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until light and frothy. Add the milk, sour cream, salt and pepper and mix until well incorporated. Set aside.
- In a medium skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and peppers to the skillet and cook until tender. Set aside.
- Prepare a 6 quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Place half of the hashbrowns in the bottom of the crockpot.
- Top the hashbrowns with half of the bacon, ½ cup of the sausage, ½ cup of the vegetables and 1 cup of the cheese.
- Pour half of the egg mixture on top.
- Add the remaining hash browns, bacon, sausage and vegetables.
- Pour in the remaining egg mixture and top with cheese.
- Cover and cook on high for about 4-5 hours or low for 6-8 hours.
- Serve topped with extra sour cream and fresh herbs if desired.
Notes
- The shape of the potatoes is a matter of preference (shredded hash browns or diced), as long as they are thawed before being placed in the crockpot the casserole will finish at the same cooking temp and time.
- Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave or in the oven until heated through.
- You can freeze a cooked breakfast casserole for up to 2 months. Cool the casserole completely, then store in an airtight, freezer safe container or bag. To reheat, thaw completely in the refrigerator, then heat in the microwave or oven (350℉) until heated through.
