Love it when my family comes to visit. They live six hours away. That means overnight guests. Usually that means a run to the donut shop in the morning. But the last time they visited, I got crock pot creative. I didn’t believe it would work. But it did – for the most part. Scroll to the bottom to see the giant fail I almost had.
Slow Cooker Sausage Breakfast Casserole
1 pkg. (26-32 ounces) frozen breakfast potatoes
1 lb cooked sausage
2 cup (8 ounces) shredded colby jack cheese
12 eggs
1/2 cups milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
MUST HAVE: Slow Cooker Bags!!
Directions
1. Put your slow cooker bag in your pot. Layer 1/2 of the potatoes on the bottom of slow cooker.
2. Top with half of the sausage and cheese. Repeat layering.
3. Beat eggs, milk salt and pepper in large bowl with a wire whisk until well blended.
4. Pour evenly over potato-sausage mixture.
5. Cook on low setting for 8 hours or on high setting for 4 hours or until eggs are set.

Can you imagine scrubbing this yuck outta the crock? (BTW, even with all this caked on, the recipe tasted great!! I promise!)
This is what saved my day:
