SLOW COOKER BREAKFAST CASSEROLE

We all know that I’m not a morning person so I need something that can be made late at night and ready to eat in the morning. This fits the bill perfectly. Great for company because whenever they wake up it’s just chilling in the kitchen ready to be eaten.

INGREDIENTS

  • HASH BROWNS – You can use frozen hash browns or fresh. I like to use shredded because I feel like they cook more evenly.
  • SAUSAGE, BACON, OR DICED HAM – I like to use ground sausage or ham over bacon because bacon can get soft as it cooks.
  • ONIONS – I like to use a diced onion and you can even use frozen onions since they’re going to be cooking in the crockpot for so long.
  • GREEN CHILES – These give the casserole a little kick.
  • CHEDDAR CHEESE – It’s not a good breakfast casserole without come cheese.
  • EGGS
  • MILK – This makes it light and fluffy.
  • DRY MUSTARD – This gives it a little flavor.
  • SALT AND PEPPER
