Cheesy Ham Crockpot Breakfast Casserole
Description
The recipe starts with whisking eggs, milk, salt, and pepper to create a custard-like base. In a greased slow cooker, layers of thawed frozen shredded hash browns, ham, onion, and cheddar cheese are added in thirds twice to build a hearty casserole. The egg mixture is poured over the layered ingredients.
The casserole can be cooked immediately or refrigerated overnight before cooking. It is slow cooked covered on low heat for about 4 to 5 hours until fully set and edges are lightly browned. After cooking, allowing the casserole to rest uncovered for 30 minutes helps it firm up before serving.
The texture is creamy and cheesy with contrasting tender hash browns and savory ham throughout. The slow cooker method offers a hands-off way to prepare a breakfast main that can feed multiple people.
