Servings: 10 Serves
Ingredients
- 2 to 3 russet potatoes peeled and shredded (see note)
- 8 ounces shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese divided
- 4 ounces shredded parmigiano reggiano
- 10 fully cooked breakfast sausage links (I use Johnsonville), sliced into coins
- 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil chopped
- 10 large eggs
- ½ cup half and half
- ½ cup 2% milk
- 1 tablespoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ to ½ teaspoon chili powder or to taste
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper or to taste
- chopped green onions for garnish, optional
- halved cherry tomatoes for garnish, optional
Instructions
- Prep. Spray the bowl of your slow cooker or crock with a nonstick cooking spray.
- Combine the ingredients. Layer shredded potatoes or hash browns on the bottom of the slow cooker. Sprinkle the top of the potatoes with half of the shredded mozzarella cheese, parmigiano reggiano cheese, sausage links, and chopped sun-dried tomatoes.
- Season the eggs. In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs together with half-and-half and milk. Next, whisk in dried basil, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and black pepper until completely combined.
- Put it all together. Pour egg mixture over prepared hash browns and smooth out the top. Sprinkle the rest of the mozzarella cheese over top of the casserole.
- Cook. Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours, or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours.
- Serve. Dish up and garnish with green onions and tomatoes, and enjoy!
Notes
- Frozen hashbrowns: In place of shredded potatoes, tou can use a 20-ounce bag of refrigerated/frozen hashbrowns. You do not need to thaw them first. Just add them into the crock pot straight from the freezer!
