If it weren’t for milk, cheese, eggs, and sausage, I could go vegan!

Slow Cooker Breakfast Casserole

I love breakfast casseroles, I love a good brunch, and I love my family and friends. And I really LOVE a reunion with family and friends around the table when we get to part take in such brunches during the Holidays.

This year, though, I have one more important reason to serve this sausage and dairy-loaded slow cooker breakfast casserole – checkit:

  • Nutritionists recommend 3 servings of milk a day, which is about a gallon each week, but 46 million Americans – including 12 million children – served by Feeding America only get on average 1 gallon of milk ALL year. Kids need milk’s nine essential nutrients to grow up healthy.
  • Also, milk is the No. 1 nutritious product requested by food bank clients, but it is rarely donated. The Great American Milk Drive is delivering thousands of gallons of milk to families who would otherwise go without. Donate milk this holiday season, and how much milk has been donated in your state at www.MilkLife.com/give. A $5 donation gives a gallon of milk to a family in-need.

Cooking with milk is an easy way to add calcium and add all those other essential nutrients to holiday dishes.

HOW TO MAKE SLOW COOKER BREAKFAST CASSEROLE

In this Overnight Slow Cooker Breakfast Casserole, I included 1/2 cup of milk, 1/2 cup half and half, some cheese, and more cheeses. Those cows will be SO proud of me!

IN FACT, and FYI, Dairy Farms operate 365 days a year, even on Christmas. Before opening presents on Christmas Day, or pretty much doing anything else, Ohio and West Virginia dairy farmers have to feed and milk the cows.

But, you guys, this breakfast recipe really is one of the BEST! You put all the ingredients in before you go to bed, set your slow cooker on low, and wake up to FOOD!

And what really makes it all come together is topping it off with a generous sprinkle of more cheese, green onions, and tomatoes.

The simplicity of putting this together will probably make you want to run to your slow cooker at this very moment and get it going. All you have to do is layer hashbrowns on the bottom of your slow cooker, sprinkle some sundried tomatoes over them, and follow up with diced up sausage links or brown up some beef, if you want the extra work.

THEN, you’ll whip up some eggs and milk, pour that over the taters and cheese, cover, and let it do its thing while you sleep.

Come Christmas morning, all you will have to do is set up some plates and forks, and get everyone to the breakfast table because it’s time to grub!

ENJOY!
