Recently, I've fallen in love with crockpot breakfast casseroles. I'll make one for family brunch and find that I have enough left over to use it as a filling for breakfast burritos which I freeze and eat over the next couple of weeks. My fascination started with a Southwestern Crockpot Breakfast that had sausage and peppers. It was great as a casserole and even better as burritos. The recipe here uses bacon instead of sausage and is quite heavy in the potato department. It was a winner. I liked the heartiness of the hash browns. I might add some chopped bell pepper the next time I make it. This recipe served three hungry people from the crockpot and the leftovers were enough for 8 large burritos. (This recipe was submitted in 2003. It was tested and photographed in June 2015.)

* Cooking Note From Mr Breakfast:

As others have commented below, the cooking time as directed is too long for many crockpots. I have a large 12 x 9-inch slow cooker and my cooking time was 6 hours on low. The edges were cooked more than the center, but the egg was completely set. Most people are reporting a cooking time closer to 7 hours.



Perfect for large gatherings like holiday brunch. Great make-ahead breakfast for those times when your mornings are definitely going to be busy.


Mr Breakfast would like to thank The Boss for this recipe.
