Tex Mex Slow Cooker Breakfast
Description
This breakfast casserole begins by browning ground pork sausage and onions, then combining eggs, milk, taco seasoning, and cheddar cheese. In a slow cooker sprayed with cooking spray, hash browns form the base, topped with the cooked sausage, diced bell peppers, and optionally chopped cilantro. The egg mixture is poured over and cooked for 2.5 hours on high or 4 to 4.5 hours on low until the eggs are fully set.
The dish features a combination of Mexican-inspired spices with the creamy texture of the eggs and melted cheese. The bell peppers add sweetness and texture contrasting with the savory sausage and tender hash browns. It is a hands-off morning meal suitable for feeding a group.
Garnished with sliced green onions and optionally served with salsa and sour cream, this slow cooker casserole can be a convenient choice for weekends or brunch gatherings.
