Crockpot Breakfast Casserole

It is always so nice to wake up with breakfast ready to be served and this Crockpot Breakfast Casserole is absolutely perfect for planning ahead. Put all your ingredients in the night before or the morning of, and a few hours later you have a grand breakfast to serve!

This Crockpot Breakfast Casserole is even better as leftovers in my opinion. There are so many ways to make it, but this one has become my favorite. Mainly, because I added in RO*TEL which adds a whole new flavor profile, and used Egg Beaters which make me not have to crack all the eggs and lowers the caloric intake, without having to use my egg white separator!

I am a girl who puts hot sauce on her eggs, so I chose to use the new Chipotle RO*TEL for this recipe and it certainly gave it an extra kick. If you aren’t a fan of spicy, I suggest using Mild or even Original RO*TEL.

This recipe is so simple. All you have to do is layer all of your ingredients, set it on low for four hours or high for two hours and breakfast is served. Or, if you like to enjoy breakfast for dinner, this is very filling and incredibly satisfying. Serve it alongside some fruit or splurge with some buttered toast and you will have some happy customers!!!

Also, if you are looking for a more healthy version, substitute the sausage with turkey sausage and low fat cheese. You can also add in more veggies like red and green bell peppers, onion or asparagus. You can even make it Keto and Paleo friendly if you don’t add in the hash browns!
