Crock Pot Breakfast

Sound pretty awesome doesn’t it? You can either make this crock pot breakfast the night before or make it and cook it the day of. Whatever you choose everyone is going to be sure to love it!
A must for me in breakfast casserole is a base of hash browns. Some breakfast casseroles have a base of bread and that’s just not my thing. I love hash browns in my breakfast casserole.
Crock Pot Breakfast Casserole
Add in cheese, eggs and ham plus the fact it cooks in a slow cooker and it becomes the best breakfast casserole out there!
My family is big on breakfast. In fact I serve it a lot for dinner and referring to it as a “brinner” recipe. I’m not sure why my kids think it’s so exciting to get breakfast for dinner but they do. I like the fact that it provides a few new recipes to rotate on our weekly meal plan.
This casserole would make a great meal for “brinner” because you can turn it on and let it cook while you run around to activities with the kids during the after school hours.
Breakfast Casserole with Ham
I’m always making Crock Pot recipes for this reason alone! They are so handy when busy nights are here. Sometimes I forget that breakfast casseroles don’t always have to be for special occasions like Easter, Mother’s Day, Christmas etc.
Speaking of Mother’s Day that is totally going to be here before we know it isn’t it?
My girls love to bring me breakfast in bed, but this year I’m going to be at a conference and don’t get back in until the afternoon on Mother’s Day. I haven’t had the heart to tell them that yet. #momfail right there!

Can this be converted into a oven casserole?
Julie Evink says
I’m sure it can! That sounds delicious!
Lucy says
Could you add some hollandaise powder to add flavor
Courtney says
I don’t see why not!
Glenda says
Can I cook overnight
Courtney says
You can! Just make sure that you don’t start it too early, the cook time is only 4-5 hours on low!
Carol says
Is there anything I could use other than eggs??
Su-san says
I made this with 18 eggs, 1.5 cups of milk, and more hash browns and it cooked well in 5 hours on low… I also added a couple of chopped jalapeños which added some good flavor… I had everything on hand except the hash browns so I just shredded some potatoes and put them in water so they didn’t brown then when I was ready to put the breakfast together I just tried to get as much of the water out as possible… it turned out great and everyone loved it! At his was for Easter brunch, I’d say about 12-15 adults and kids ate it and there were leftovers.
Julie says
That’s awesome! I’m so glad it turned out so well and that everyone enjoyed it for your Easter brunch. Thanks for sharing!
