Slow Cooker Breakfast Cassserole

An easy and delicious breakfast that you toss into your crock pot the night before, and it's ready to eat first thing in the morning. Such an easy and yummy way to start off your day!

Slow Cooker Breakfast Casserole

1 (32 oz.) pkg. frozen hash browns
1 lb. browned sausage, or cubed ham, or cooked and crumbled bacon
2-3 cups shredded cheddar cheese*
12 eggs
1 cup milk
1 tsp. salt
few dashes garlic and onion powder
ground black pepper to taste

Spray your crock pot with non-stick cooking spray. Using the hash browns, meat and cheese, layer them in that order, 2 to 3 times each, ending with the cheese on top. In a large bowl, whisk the remaining ingredients together. Pour over top of the layers in your crock pot. Cover and cook on LOW for 10-12 hours** or HIGH for 6-8 hours**. This is yummy with either ketchup or topped with a dollop of salsa and sour cream. Enjoy!
Makes about 8 servings.
*You can also substitute shredded pepper jack cheese for all or part of the cheddar to give your breakfast casserole an extra kick.
**I made this for the first time for dinner so that I could see just how long it would take to cook in my own crock pot since I know temperatures vary as do cooking times for every model.
