Slow Cooker Sausage Breakfast Casserole

By Susan52

A hearty breakfast is ready when you get up in the morning with this breakfast casserole that cooks for 8 hours, while you sleep. You can add different veggies, and switch up the sausage with some bacon, if you'd like.

Ingredients

• 1 (30-ounce) package frozen shredded hash brown potatoes
• 1 pound ground sausage, either breakfast or Italian sausage, browned and drained
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 onion, diced
• 1 green pepper, diced
• 1 red pepper, diced
• 12 eggs
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Spray a 6 quart slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray (you cannot make this recipe in a smaller crock pot because it won’t fit). Layer 1/2 of the potatoes on the bottom of slow cooker.

Top with half of the sausage, cheddar and mozzarella cheese, onions, green peppers, and red peppers. Repeat the layers again.

Beat eggs, milk, and salt and pepper in large bowl with a wire whisk until well blended. Pour egg mixture evenly over potato-sausage mixture.

Cook on low setting for 8 hours or on high setting for 4 hours or until eggs are set.

Top with green onions, salsa, tomatoes, mushrooms, avocado -- whatever you like!
