Ingredients
  

For the Breakfast Casserole

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk almond milk works as a dairy-free alternative
  • 1 cup shredded cheese cheddar or a blend of your favorite cheeses
  • 2 cups frozen hash browns or fresh diced potatoes for a homemade feel
  • 1 bell pepper, diced colorful variations can add a festive flair

  1. In a skillet over medium heat, brown the sausage until fully cooked. Drain excess fat if needed.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Add in the cooked sausage, hash browns, cheese, bell pepper, and onion. Stir until well combined.
  3. Spray the interior of your crock pot with non-stick cooking spray. Pour the mixture into the pot, spreading it evenly.
Cooking

  2. Once done, serve the casserole piping hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
