They say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. However, sometimes this meal can be easy to overlook, especially with busy mornings.
I know that between going to the gym and getting ready for work, it can be hard to make breakfast in the morning. Meal prep breakfasts are a great way to make breakfast ahead of time so you still have a delicious, healthy breakfast.
This slow cooker breakfast casserole is super easy to make. Seriously, I didn’t make a mess when I made it. That is how easy it truly is. This recipe is also super versatile. You can switch out the breakfast sausage for bacon, ham or just take out the meat all together for a vegetarian option.
This super easy Slow Cooker Breakfast Casserole is absolutely amazing and has tons of flavor. When you make this casserole, you can separate out portions for the week or you can make this casserole for large family gatherings or brunch.
I created this recipe when looking for a quick and easy meal for a bridal shower brunch, but ended up using quiche instead. Nonetheless, this casserole is still a permanent fixture in my meal prep breakfast arsenal.

A great breakfast crockpot recipe. This recipe is perfect for meal prepping and is a delicious make-ahead breakfast for holidays too!
Ingredients
- 3-4 Cups Frozen Hashbrowns
- 1 Package Breakfast Sausage, cooked and crumbled
- 1 Large Red, Yellow and Green Bell Pepper, diced
- 1/2 Medium White Onion, diced
- 16 Large Eggs
- 1 Cup Cheddar cheese, grated
- 1 Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
- 2 Green Onions, diced
- 2 Tablespoon Milk, optional
Instructions
-
Place a crockpot liner in your crockpot and spray the liner with nonstick cooking spray. If no liner, you can just spray the crockpot with the nonstick cooking spray.
*Don't cook the breakfast casserole without spraying the nonstick cooking spray, even if you have a liner in the crockpot.
-
Cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat, crumbling as it cooks, while preparing the rest of the casserole.
-
Put 3-4 cups of frozen hash-brown on the bottom of the crockpot. This will create the bottom layer.
-
When the sausage is done cooking, place all of the sausage over the hash-brown layer in the crockpot. This will create the second layer.
-
Add the diced peppers and onions on top of the sausage.
-
In a separate bowl, crack 16 large eggs and add the milk (if you choose), and the cayenne pepper. Whisk together until the eggs are completely beaten. Pour the egg mixture over the top of the other layers and top with cheese.
-
Cook on high for 4 hours or low for 8 hours. Serve and enjoy!
