Ingredients
- 16 oz Frozen hash brown potatoes
- 12 Eggs
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 lb Breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled
- 0.5 cup Green onions, chopped
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.25 tsp Paprika (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Spray the inside of a 6-quart crock pot lightly with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 2
Layer the frozen hash brown potatoes evenly across the bottom of the crock pot.
Step 3
In a large skillet, brown the breakfast sausage over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain any excess grease and set aside.
Step 4
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
Step 5
Evenly sprinkle the cooked breakfast sausage over the hash brown layer in the crock pot.
Step 6
Top the sausage layer with shredded cheddar cheese, spreading it out evenly.
Step 7
Pour the egg mixture over the top of the layers in the crock pot, ensuring it covers everything evenly.
Step 8
Sprinkle chopped green onions over the top for added flavor and a pop of color.
Step 9
Optional: Lightly sprinkle paprika over the top for a touch of smoky flavor and presentation.
Step 10
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on LOW heat for 7-8 hours (overnight) or on HIGH heat for 3-4 hours, until the eggs are set and the edges are slightly golden.
Step 11
Once cooked, remove the lid and let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before serving. This allows it to firm up slightly for easier slicing.
Step 12
Slice into portions and serve warm. Enjoy your Lazy Early Riser Crock Pot Breakfast!
