Ingredients You’ll Need for Crockpot Christmas Breakfast Casserole :

• 12 eggs: The base that holds everything together.
• 1 cup milk (or half & half for richer texture): Adds creaminess.
• 2 pounds hash brown potatoes (frozen is fine): The hearty base layer.
• 1 pound bulk breakfast sausage, cooked: Adds savory flavor and protein.
• ½ cup onions, diced: Adds sweetness and depth.
• ½ cup bell peppers (red & green), diced: For color and flavor.
• 1 ½ cups cheddar cheese, shredded: A rich, melty cheese layer.

• ½ teaspoon pepper: For seasoning.

Step-by-Step Guide to Making Crockpot Christmas Breakfast Casserole :

Step 1: Prepare the Crockpot

Spray the inside of your slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray to ensure easy cleanup and prevent sticking. Set it aside.

Step 2: Mix the Ingredients

Combine the two shredded cheeses in a bowl and set aside. In a separate bowl, mix the cooked sausage, diced onions, and bell peppers. Set aside.

Beat the eggs in a large bowl until well blended, then whisk in the milk, salt, and pepper. Set this mixture aside.

“Prepping the components separately ensures even layering and distribution of ingredients.”

Step 3: Layer the Casserole

1. Place ⅓ of the hash brown potatoes in the bottom of the crockpot.
2. Sprinkle ⅓ of the sausage mixture over the potatoes.
3. Top with 1 cup of the mixed cheese.

Repeat this process two more times to create a total of three layers, ending with a final layer of cheese.

Step 4: Pour the Egg Mixture

Pour the egg and milk mixture evenly over the layered ingredients. Ensure the liquid covers the top layer for even cooking.

Step 5: Cook

Set the crockpot to low and cook for 8 hours. This long, slow cooking time allows the flavors to meld and ensures the eggs are perfectly cooked.

Notes, Substitutions, and Variations :

• Cheese Substitutions: Use Monterey Jack or mozzarella for a milder flavor, or add more pepper jack for extra heat.
• Vegetarian Option: Omit the sausage and add extra veggies like spinach or mushrooms.
• Toppings: Serve with toppings like salsa, avocado slices, or hot sauce for extra flavor.
• Sausage Substitution: Use turkey sausage or chorizo for a different flavor profile.

Frequently Asked Questions :

Q: Can I make this casserole ahead of time?
A: Yes! You can prep the ingredients the night before and store them in the fridge. Assemble in the crockpot just before cooking.

Q: Can I cook this on high for a shorter time?
A: If you’re in a rush, you can cook on high for 4-5 hours, but the low setting ensures the best texture.

Q: How do I store leftovers?
A: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual servings in the microwave or a warm oven.
