Crock Pot Breakfast Casserole Recipe
I made this a couple weekends ago. It was very simple and tasty. Because there are only two of us, I only made a half recipe, but it would be just a easy to make the whole recipe, and it would be great if you have a house full of people to feed. You put everything into the crock pot the night before, and you have a fresh hot breakfast ready and waiting the next morning.
Crock Pot Breakfast Casserole
adapted from Everyday Dishes
Ingredients:
- 1 lb. sausage
- 1/2 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- sliced mushrooms
- fresh spinach
- 12 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 3/4 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. pepper
- 1/4 tsp. turmeric
- 1/4 tsp. ground mustard
- 30 oz. bag frozen hash browns
- 2 cups shredded cheddar
Directions:
Brown sausage with onion and garlic; add mushrooms and brown. Add spinach and cook until wilted. Set aside.
Beat eggs in bowl. Add milk and seasonings.
Grease 4 or 5 qt crock pot. Pour hash browns into crock pot and then add eggs and sausage mixture. Stir together and then add 1-1/2 cups cheese. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top.
Cover and cook on low overnight.
The original recipe was to be mixed up and refrigerated overnight and then baked in the morning. I wasn't sure how it would work in the crock pot exactly so I doubled the milk. I think that was just about right. I also added a bit more cheese, because it seemed like the right thing to do.
I'll definitely make this again.
