    This Crockpot Breakfast Casserole is perfect for Thanksgiving or Christmas morning.  My family loves breakfast casserole and I always make it when our family comes in town to visit.  I love how EASY this recipe is! Trust me you will be happy you did!

    Crockpot Breakfast Casserole

    This breakfast crockpot casserole recipe is super easy to make and you can wake up to a delicious breakfast that is ready to serve right away!  I used a 6 quart crockpot and a slow cooker liner for this recipe to make cleanup easy.  I love how easy it is to prepare and really helps to free up an oven for holiday's.

    Crockpot Breakfast Casserole is so easy to make and you wake up to deliciousness!

    If you want to make this in the oven I am sure using a 9x13 you could bake at 350 for an hour. I haven't tried that though because I like using my crockpot and keeping my oven free.

    Crockpot Breakfast Casserole is so easy to make and you wake up to deliciousness!

    All you need to do is pour the coffee and orange juice and get out the plates and silverware. The kids loved this breakfast just as much as the adults!  Based on your crock pot you may want to start watching this at 7 hours to be sure it doesn't get overdone.  I find that one of my crock pots heats a little "hotter" than another one.  You could also substitute any meat or make this a vegetarian option if you want!

    I like to serve this with Breakfast Fruit Salad. Check out this slow cooker conversion chart as it helps to figure out if you are adjusting the time.

    Ingredients

    • 1 dozen eggs (large)
    • 1 cup milk
    • 1 package 32 oz. frozen hash brown potatoes
    • 1 lb sausage browned and drained or 1lb of bacon, cooked and crumbled (or use both)
    • 2 cups cheddar cheese or colby jack - shredded
    • ¼ teaspoon dry mustard, optional
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • ½ teaspoon black pepper
    • ½ cup green onions - diced, optional
    • 1 whole green pepper - diced, optional

    Instructions

    • Spray your crockpot with no stick cooking spray or use a slow cooker liner and spray it.
    • Layer frozen potatoes, bacon or sausage, onions (if using), green pepper (if using) and 1 cup shredded cheese in the crock pot in two or three layers.
    • Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup shredded cheese over the top evenly.
    • Beat the eggs, milk, dry mustard, salt and pepper together.
    • Pour the egg mixture over the cheese evenly in the crockpot.
    • Cook on low for 7 to 8 hours or until eggs are set and thoroughly cooked, start this at midnight and wake up to a delicious breakfast!
    • Serve and enjoy!

    Notes

    I used a crockpot liner sprayed with non-stick cooking spray for easy clean-up. The casserole may burn along the edges a little bit so watch your time the last hour.

        You could easily use fresh grated potatoes. Rinse the grated potatoes and then squeeze them with a dry towel to get excess water from the rinse out.
        Since this is in the pot for 7-8 hours, it is plenty of time fir the potatoes to cook.

      I see both bacon and sausage listed as ingredients...but I don't see in the recipe that you add sausage. Do you use both...or just one of the meats? Thanks for your help.

        @ J - I was wondering the same thing. I see cheese listed twice in the instructions, so I'm assuming it's a typo and one of the cheeses should have been sausage?

          I made this last night for a bunch of ladies I was having over for breakfast this morning. I, too, noticed the error, but not until AFTER I had cooked both meats; decided to use both. Was really good! The only change I would make is to omit the green pepper, but that's b/c I don't like peppers to begin w/. Everything else was great.

          As for the size of the crock pot, a large one is necessary. There were 8 of us & approx 6 servings remained, so....it would be a great dish to make for a crowd....or, if you just happen to like having left overs. Definitely a recipe I'll make again.

      I made this, last night, wish I would have checked on it throughout the morning... it was very overdone after 11.5 hours 🙁 black all around the edges and the flavors were very muddled. Next time I'll try a few less hours.

        I cooked mine for about the same time; the bottom browned more than I would've liked, but didn't get black. As for the flavors muddling, didn't have that issue either--got great reviews. Hope you give it another try; it really is worth the time & effort of putting it together.

      Happy Thanksgiving! I just made this recipe for Thanksgiving morning and I haven't tasted it yet but it's only been cooking for 7 hours and its done!! It maybe because I have a brand new crockpot....but just wanted to share . The sides are brown seem a little too brown but I think it will be just fine. Also, I added red peppers and 1/2 of a jalapeño....I live in Texas sooooo gotta make it spicy!!

        I experimented and froze a couple of them I used freezer bags and froze them right in the crock for the slow cooker and then just lifted out the frozen casseroles and labelled them. I used one after a week, it tasted fresh and I didn't have any overcooking issues. I used one after a month and it tasted just like the first one. My family thought it was delicious.

      This looks delicious! I like what you mentioned about keeping your oven free, we're the same way. We normally have a huge pot of breakfast casserole cooking over night and some monkey bread rising. Pop it in the oven, fix the coffee, and wait for folks to start lining up for breakfast.

        What size crockpots do you have? We used a 6 quart for this recipe.

      I made this recipe last night to take to work today for my staff. It turned out AWESOME and was completely devoured. I used 6 quart crock and it only took about 5 hours on low. The edges and bottom were nice and crispy brown, while the inside moist and delicious. I sprayed the inside of the crock with cooking spray before adding ingredients and had absolutely no problems with clean up. I followed the recipe's basic ingredient quantities and substituted cubed turkey ham and bacon bits for the meat part. I may have used slightly more milk, I just eye-balled it going in. I added one diced yellow onion with the green onion, added onion & garlic powder, dry basil, (salt & pepper of course) left out the diced pepper due to picky eaters. But seriously, the variations on what you could add to this basic recipe are endless!!! I will FOR SURE make this again!!! Thank you

      Thanks for this recipe. I took this casserole to a women's breakfast. It was super easy to prep but I worry that the cook time was too long because it dried out and overly browned my edges- cooked per the recipe. I will make this again in the future and stick to sausage instead of bacon as I think the extra grease will add flavor and moisture. Will also sub yellow onions for part of the green peppers AND mix the ingredients before adding the eggs.

        I agree the sausage does add more moisture than the bacon - as we note on this recipe cooking times vary by crockpot.

      Recipe says to layer frozen potatoes, bacon or sausage, onions and I cup shredded cheese "in two or three layers". Does this mean that you layer potatoes, bacon, onions, cheese, followed by another layer of potatoes, bacon onions, cheese, etc.? Sorry if it's a stupid question but I want to be sure I do it correctly. Thanks!

        Yes! To determine the number of cups in a 16-ounce bag, divide the number of ounces per bag (30) by the number of cups per bag (6) to get 5 ounces per cup. Then divide 1 pound (16 ounces) by the ounce-per-cup figure (5) to get a total of 3.2 cups per pound. Convert the decimal to a fraction to put it in measurements used typically in recipes, making it 3 2/10 cups, which reduces to 3 1/5 cups. Yes, you can use turkey sausage! Enjoy!

      Was looking for an overnight breakfast to try for Christmas morning this year. Found this and looked very simple and very little prep. We always spend Christmas Eve at the inlaws out of state and always get home very late so this was perfect!! Took me few minutes to put together as I had cooked the ground sausage earlier that day and hit start on my crock pot. We woke up to the most amazing breakfast! Honestly this was our best Christmas ever. Not only did we enjoy an amazing breakfast together, we also did not have to be in the kitchen and miss our toddlers first 'real' Christmas as he opened his gifts and I tended to a newborn. Bravo! My husband thinks I'm a great cook and multitasker and really has no idea how easy this was for such an amazing taste.

      I thought this was rather bland and a lot like other breakfast casseroles. It needed a broader flavor profile. I think that green chile would be a good addition to this and maybe onion. Also, I cooked mine for 6 hours on low and it was almost overcooked.

      I have been looking for a good slow cooker recipe for Christmas! This sounds like what i have been looking for but thinking of a few adaptations to work. Just wondering if they have been tried.

      1. Not a fan of shredded potatoes so thinking either frozen diced or fresh diced potatoes. Do you think one would work better then the other .

      2. We are not a fan of peppers and onions but I like the flavors it gives food so I am thinking instead of dicing them to slice them that way they can be picked around but still have the flavor. Do you think that could work.
