Large enough to feed the extended family who have gathered at the house for the holidays, this Crockpot Overnight Breakfast Casserole is made with eggs, sausage, bacon, hash browns, and cheese.
To really make this breakfast shine, add lots of fresh toppings such as sour cream, tomatoes, salsa or hot sauce, avocado, green onion, or chives.
This can be served with English muffins and jam on the side or you can even spoon it into corn tortillas for Breakfast Tacos!
1 pound package frozen shredded hash brown potatoes
▢½ pound breakfast sausage
▢½ pound bacon cooked and crumbled
▢2 cups shredded cheddar cheese divided
▢½ medium sweet onion diced
▢½ green pepper diced

▢12 eggs

In a large skillet over medium heat, brown sausage with onion and peppers until cooked through and no longer pink. Drain and set aside.
Grease a large 6-quart slow cooker (or bigger) with cooking spray or butter.

Pour over hashbrown and sausage layers.
Cook on low for 6-8 hours on low or 2-3 hours on high.
