Crockpot Breakfast Casserole
Crockpot Breakfast Casserole made with hash browns, eggs, cheese, green chiles, onion, and your choice of sausage, bacon, or ham. Great for company. You can throw it in the night before and wake up to breakfast.
SLOW COOKER BREAKFAST CASSEROLE
We all know that I’m not a morning person so I need something that can be made late at night and ready to eat in the morning. This fits the bill perfectly. Great for company because whenever they wake up it’s just chilling in the kitchen ready to be eaten.
INGREDIENTS
- HASH BROWNS – You can use frozen hash browns or fresh. I like to use shredded because I feel like they cook more evenly.
- SAUSAGE, BACON, OR DICED HAM – I like to use ground sausage or ham over bacon because bacon can get soft as it cooks.
- ONIONS – I like to use a diced onion and you can even use frozen onions since they’re going to be cooking in the crockpot for so long.
- GREEN CHILES – These give the casserole a little kick.
- CHEDDAR CHEESE – It’s not a good breakfast casserole without come cheese.
- EGGS
- MILK – This makes it light and fluffy.
- DRY MUSTARD – This gives it a little flavor.
- SALT AND PEPPER
Place your hash browns, onion, and green chiles in a bowl.
I like to use ground sausage or ham over bacon because bacon can get soft as it cooks.
Stir it all together well.
Layer in the slow cooker with cheese in between each layer.
Make sure you whisk together the egg mixture really well.
Pour it over the top and let it soak in.
Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours just until the eggs are set.
This is what it looks like when it’s done.
Serve plain or with salsa or sour cream.

Have you ever added a can of Rotel? Drained or not drained?
I haven’t but I think a can drained would be great.
Could you do the layering the night before, refrigerate, then pour the eggs over it the next morning and cook on High?
Yes absolutely
At work we had a breakfast potluck. I looked for a breakfast casserole recipe in a crockpot online. I found this one. It was a home run. Everyone loved it. Â Thank you for this recipe.
Yay!! Thank you!
Can I double this and still have it be ready in the morning?
Yes!
Could the amount be increased to 1 1/2 and still work in the crockpot? I need a recipe that will serve more than 10 and would like to use a crockpot recipe.
Yes, it should work!
Doing this recipe for Xmas Breakfast….Will probably double the recipe for the amount of people coming to our home…still 6-8 hours on low?
Yes. I would try it out first. every crockpot is different.

Haha good to know.
Could this be baked in the oven? What temp and for how long?
Yes! Bake at 350 uncovered for about 60 minutes

What keeps the milk from curdling in the crockpot?
It’s whisked together with the eggs which helps.
Hi…do you brown the sausage before you put it in the crockpot?
I a skillet. I will add instructions.
