Ingredients

  • A spritz of cooking spray
  • Two packages of pork sausage for breakfast, each 16 ounces
  • A generous 16 eggs
  • Rich, creamy 1 ¼ cups of milk
  • A tablespoon of dry mustard for flavor
  • A hint of garlic powder, about ¾ tablespoon
  • Subtle notes of onion powder, also around ¾ tablespoon
  • A pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper for seasoning
  • A large package of frozen hash brown potatoes, thawed and weighing 24 ounces
  • A whopping 24 ounces of shredded Cheddar cheese

Step 1

Prepare your slow cooker by lining it with a slow cooker liner and then giving it a light spray of cooking spray to ensure nothing sticks.

Step 2

In a large skillet heated over medium-high heat, start by cooking and stirring the sausage until it becomes beautifully browned and crumbly, which should take around 5 to 7 minutes. Remember to drain off any excess grease.

Step 3

Next, in a bowl, whisk together a delightful mixture of eggs, milk, dry mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper, creating a flavorful base for your dish.

Step 4

Now, it's time to layer your ingredients in the slow cooker. Begin by spreading a third of the hash browns, cooked sausage, and Cheddar cheese at the bottom of the slow cooker. Continue layering in the same order until you've used up all your ingredients, finishing with a layer of cheese on top. Finally, pour the egg mixture over everything.

Step 5

Set your slow cooker to Low heat and let it work its magic for 6 to 8 hours until the eggs are perfectly set. This delicious breakfast casserole is sure to be a hit!
