Crockpot Breakfast Casserole...

The best part about weekend is having a time to cook breakfast. What if you could get the big breakfast during the week without cutting into that precious morning time. Well you can with a little pre-planning in the evening and using your crockpot or slow cooker. I found this recipe over at fit and fab living and it is a great way to make sure your kids get a good meal before heading out for school.  The recipe calls for ham or bacon, I have used pre cooked ground sausage and it turns out well. You can omit the onion and green pepper if you wish, but it is better with onion. Ingredients * 1 32 oz. bag frozen hash brown potatoes * 1 lb. bacon, diced, cooked and drained or 1 lb. cooked ham, cubed * 1 med. onion, diced * 1 green bell pepper, diced * 1 1/2 C. cheddar or Monterrey Jack cheese, shredded * 1 dozen eggs * 1 C. milk * 1 tsp. salt * 1 tsp. pepper (more or less to taste) Directions 1. Place a layer of frozen potatoes on the bottom of the slow cooker (Crockpot), followed by a layer of bacon then onions, green pepper and cheese. 2. Repeat the layering process two or three more times, ending with a layer of cheese. 3. Beat the eggs, milk, salt and pepper together. 4. Pour over the Crockpot mixture, cover and turn on low. 5. Cook for 10-12 hours.
