Steps:
- Cook the sausage in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until browned and cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the sausage to a bowl to cool slightly and discard any fat left behind in the skillet.
- Coat the insert of a 6-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Layer half of the hash brown potatoes with half the sausage. Toss the bell peppers with the Cheddar, red onion and 1 cup of the mozzarella. Layer half the mixture over the sausage, then repeat the layering with the remaining potatoes, sausage and vegetable-cheese mixture.
- Whisk the eggs, milk, paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a large bowl, then pour over the casserole mixture. Sprinkle the top with the remaining 1 cup mozzarella, then cover and cook on low until the eggs are set and have become a custard, about 7 hours. Turn off the heat, uncover and let rest for about 10 minutes.
- Sprinkle with sliced scallions and serve with hot sauce and ketchup.

Tips:
- Make ahead: You can assemble the casserole the day before and then refrigerate it overnight. In the morning, simply take it out of the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking.
- Use your favorite sausage: I used breakfast sausage in this recipe, but you could also use Italian sausage, chorizo, or any other type of cooked sausage that you like.
- Add your favorite vegetables: You could add chopped bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, or spinach to this casserole. Just be sure to cook them before adding them to the casserole so that they don't add too much moisture.
- Customize the seasoning: You can add more or less salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste. You could also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little bit of heat.
- Serve with your favorite toppings: I like to serve this casserole with salsa, sour cream, and avocado. You could also serve it with hot sauce, cheese, or any other toppings that you like.
Conclusion:
This slow cooker sausage and egg breakfast casserole is a delicious and easy way to start your day. It's perfect for busy mornings or for feeding a crowd. With just a few simple ingredients, you can have a hot and hearty breakfast that the whole family will love.
