Every bite of this Crockpot Breakfast Casserole is loaded with fluffy eggs, savory sausage, and melted cheese. It’s the perfect make-ahead breakfast for busy mornings, holidays, or a brunch!
Ingredients
- 16 oz hot breakfast sausage (can sub equal parts of bacon or ham)
- 10 slices white bread (crusts removed)
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese shredded
- 10 oz Rotel tomatoes & green chilis
- 2 cups whole milk
- 8 eggs
- ½ tablespoon salt
- ½ tablespoon pepper
- 2 tablespoon yellow mustard (can use 2 teaspoon dry mustard instead)
- chopped green onions
Instructions
- Remove crusts from 10 slices of white bread and tear into 1" chunks.
- Cook and crumble 1lb sausage in a large skillet. Drain the cooked sausage.
- Add bread, shredded cheese, and cooked sausage to a 6-8 quart Crock Pot sprayed with cooking spray. Lightly mix with a large spoon.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups milk, 8 eggs, ½ tablespoon salt, ½ tablespoon pepper, 10oz Rotel, and 2 tablespoon yellow mustard until blended. After you stir, pour this egg mixture over the top of the casserole. Lightly mix, ensuring all of the bread is soaked.
- Optional: Place in the refrigerator overnight. Allow casserole to rest in the fridge for 8-10 hours.
- Set the Crock Pot to low and cook casserole for 4-6 hours. Casserole is ready to serve when firm in the middle.
- Garnish servings with chopped green onions.
Notes
- How to Serve: This casserole is a complete meal on its own but pairs well with fruit salad or a light side salad for brunch.
- Leftovers & Storage: Store covered in the fridge and enjoy within 3 days.
- Reheating: Microwave single servings for about 40 seconds.
- Freezing: Wrap tightly and freeze for up to 6 months. Thaw overnight and warm in the oven at 350°F for 20 minutes.
- Cooking Tips: Use cooking spray or a slow cooker liner to prevent sticking. Cook on low for 6 hours—don't use high heat.
- Variations: Swap sausage for ham or bacon, use hash browns instead of bread, or mix in veggies like peppers or onions.
