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.
