Crockpot Breakfast Casserole

I'm trying this recipe for the first time today, sticking it in the crockpot overnight! Tge reviews were pretty mixed so I'm not sure what we'll get... hoping for a good result!

INGREDIENTS
  • 1 dozen eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 3-4 tablespoons salsa verde
  • 1 package of frozen shredded hash brown potatoes (1 lb 10oz I think?)
  • 3 links hot italian sausage, casings removed, crumbled, cooked and drained 
  • 2 small onions - diced
  • Maybe a half cup of kale - enough for one layer
  • 3 cups shredded cheese (I used mozzarella and cheddar because we had it)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (approximately)
  • 1 tsp salt & ½ tsp of pepper (Plus some more sprinkles of salt and pepper for each layer of hash browns)
INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Grease the whole inside of the slow cooker very well with softened butter. 
  2. Beat 12 eggs until well blended.
  3. Next, beat in milk, salsa and seasonings. Set aside.
  4. Layer potatoes (I suggest to season each potato layer to taste.....a small pinch of salt and pepper) and sprinkle ⅓ of the onions.
  5. Next sprinkle ⅓ of the sausage.
  6. Last but not least, top with 1 cup of cheese.
  7. Repeat this layering 2 more times to have a total of 3 layers....ending with cheese. I put one layer of kale on too of the second layer of potatoes, then covered it with sausage and onions and cheese.
  8. Take your egg mixture and pour over layers. Cook for 7-8 hours on low or until eggs are set. We plan to turn it on low at 10pm and switch it to warm at 6am. We'll see how it goes.... 🙏🏻

It turned out well! A bit greasy but flavorful. Brown around the edges but not burned. I could go for more egg and less potatoes next time, maybe less cheese, maybe more veggies. Will probably make this again for a big family event.
