Crockpot Breakfast Mix (Printable Recipe)

Eggs, sausage, mushrooms, and cheese all tossed together. Let it cook while you sleep for an easy, filling start.

# Ingredients You'll Need:

→ Main Components

01 - 240 millilitres mushrooms, sliced
02 - 1 bell pepper, diced
03 - 1 onion, diced
04 - 907 grams frozen hash browns
05 - 454 grams breakfast sausage or bacon, cooked and crumbled

→ Dairy and Eggs

06 - 240 millilitres milk
07 - 12 large eggs
08 - 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

→ Seasonings

09 - Salt, to taste
10 - 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
11 - 0.5 teaspoon paprika
12 - 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder

→ Garnishes

13 - Chopped parsley or green onions for topping (your call)

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Make sure the crockpot is lightly coated with a bit of butter or some non-stick spray so your food doesn't stick.
02 - Grab a skillet, throw in the mushrooms, and cook them over medium heat just until they soften—takes about 3 to 5 minutes. Pull off the heat and let them hang out until you need them.
03 - Add half your hash browns to the bottom of the slow cooker. Scatter over half the crumbled sausage or bacon, then toss in onion, and bell pepper, pile on some mushrooms, and sprinkle half the shredded cheese. Do it all again with what’s left.
04 - In a big bowl, break the eggs and whisk them together with milk, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and a bit of salt until it’s all blended.
05 - Carefully pour the egg mix all over everything in the slow cooker, making sure it soaks through every layer.
06 - Pop the lid on and let it cook. Keep it on low for 7–8 hours, or if you’re in more of a rush, use high for about 3–4 hours. You want the eggs set and the whole thing holding together.
07 - Let it sit for a bit before cutting. Top with chopped green onions or parsley if you feel fancy. Best when it’s still warm.

# Extra Tips:

01 - Feeds around 8 to 10 folks. Perfect for a crowd or if you want something ready for busy mornings.
02 - Switch up the veggies—throw in some spinach, sliced zucchini, or tomatoes for a twist.
03 - Try mozzarella or pepper jack instead for a different kick.
