Ingredients in Slow Cooker Breakfast Casserole
  • HASH BROWNS: Shredded or diced hash browns work in this recipe. If you prefer more ‘potato’ in your casserole, you can certainly use diced hash brown potatoes or homestyle potatoes.
  • MEAT: I most often use sausage or ham. Bacon (or really any breakfast meat) will work perfectly in this recipe!
  • CHEESE & EGGS: I love the flavor sharp cheddar adds but any cheese works. Use whole eggs or even low-fat egg substitutes.
  • TOPPINGS: Feel free to add salsa or Tabasco, and once you’re ready to serve, a nice dollop of sour cream and some chopped green onions!
