Crockpot Breakfast Casserole
Description
This casserole starts with browned ground sausage, diced ham, or cooked crumbled bacon combined with hash browns, diced white onions, and canned green chiles. These are layered with shredded cheddar cheese in thirds inside a 6 to 8-quart slow cooker, seasoning each layer with salt and pepper. The alternating layers of meat, potatoes, and cheese ensure balanced flavor and texture throughout.
Whisked eggs mixed with milk and dry mustard powder are poured over the layered ingredients. Cooking on low heat for 6 to 8 hours, or high for 3 to 4 hours, slowly sets the eggs and melds flavors. The final result is a rich, comforting casserole where tender potatoes and flavorful meat combine with melted cheese and softly set eggs.
Serving suggestions include salsa and sour cream on the side to add fresh acidity and creaminess. This dish works well for feeding a crowd or preparing ahead for easy breakfasts.
