Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add in onions and bell peppers and saute until vibrant, stirring occasionally, ~5 minutes. Add in garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir. Right before the veggies are cooked, stir in the green chiles then remove from heat.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk eggs, milk and mustard together. Set aside.
  3. Grease the bottom of a slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray.
  4. Place half of all of the ingredients in the first layer: half of the bag of frozen hash browns, sausage/ham, onion/bell pepper mixture and then cheese.
  5. Repeat layers again with remaining ingredients, ending with the cheese. 
  6. Pour egg mixture over all of the ingredients in the slow cooker. 
  7. Cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 7-9 hours. Garnish with diced green onions, chives, hot sauce etc. before serving.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat the casserole in the microwave or in the oven until warmed through. (400°F for 15-20 minutes should do the trick!)
  • To freeze, let cool completely then cover well with plastic wrap and then with aluminum foil and freeze for 2-3 months.
