CrockPot Breakfast Casserole makes your life a little easier!  Easy to toss together and can be made the night before or a couple hours before you want to serve.  Eggs, cheese, ham or any breakfast protein you love! CrockPot breakfast casserole

Ingredients to make CrockPot Breakfast Casserole –

(see recipe card below for detailed instructions)

  • EGGS – one dozen large.
  • HALF AND HALF – half cream/half milk.  We find the addition of cream helps keep this breakfast casserole fluffy and not watery.
  • HASH BROWNS – we used diced frozen Obrien Potatoes.  However regular shredded or plain diced will work great!
  • HAM – or cooked crumbled bacon or sausage.
  • CHEESE – grated sharp cheddar or mexican blend.
  • CHOPPED GREEN ONION 
  • DIJON MUSTARD – omit if you prefer.  We like the tang it gives the eggs.
  • TOPPINGS – sour cream, salsa and avocado to name a few!

How to make Slow Cooker Breakfast Casserole –

We are simply going to layer the ingredients right into the slow cooker and boom!

  • hasbrowns – to haste cooking time defrost if you are cooking for only several hours on high.  Long cooking on low does not require defrost.
  • cheese – layer half saving remaining for the top.
  • ham – or cooked sausage or bacon
  • green onion
  • Repeat starting with hasbrowns then pour on the egg mixture.
  • Set to low for about 7-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours.  (this will vary depending on how hot your slow cooker runs).
