SLOW COOKER SAUSAGE BREAKFAST CASSEROLE RECIPE - (4.3/5)



Slow Cooker Sausage Breakfast Casserole Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by MichaelH

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (26- to 32-ounce) package frozen shredded hash brown potatoes
1 package Jimmy Dean® Hearty Original Sausage Crumbles
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup sun dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained and julienned
6 green onions, sliced
12 eggs
1/2 cups milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Spray a 6-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Layer half of the potatoes on the bottom of slow cooker. Top with half of the sausage, half of each cheese, half the sun dried tomatoes, and half the green onion. Repeat to create one more layer with remaining potatoes, sausage, cheeses, tomatoes, and green onion. Beat eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in large bowl with a wire whisk until well blended. Pour evenly over casserole layers in the crock pot. Cook on low setting for 8 hours or on high setting for 4 hours or until eggs are set.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sausage: For the best flavor, use a high-quality breakfast sausage. You can also use Italian sausage or turkey sausage if you prefer.
  • Don't overcook the sausage: Overcooked sausage will be tough and dry. Cook it until it is just cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the main ingredients in this casserole, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that melts well. Cheddar, mozzarella, and Swiss are all good choices.
  • Don't skimp on the vegetables: The vegetables add flavor, texture, and nutrients to the casserole. Be sure to use a variety of vegetables, such as onions, peppers, and spinach.
  • Season the casserole well: Season the casserole with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little bit of heat.
  • Cook the casserole until it is golden brown: The casserole should be cooked until it is golden brown and bubbly. This will take about 30 minutes.

Conclusion:

This slow cooker sausage breakfast casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weekend brunch or breakfast. It is also a great way to use up leftover sausage. With its simple ingredients and minimal preparation, this casserole is sure to become a family favorite.
