Instructions:
Creating a breakfast casserole that cooks itself is easier than you might think. Follow these simple steps to get your day off to a fantastic start:
1. Prep the Crock Pot
Spray your crock pot with a non-stick cooking spray, ensuring the bottom is well-coated.
2. Crack and Whisk
In a large bowl, crack the 12 eggs and whisk them slowly to achieve a smooth consistency.
3. Add the Creaminess
Pour in a cup of milk, giving your casserole a delightful creaminess that will melt in your mouth.
4. The Secret Ingredient
Don’t be shy about it – add that tablespoon of ground mustard. It may sound unusual, but trust us, it’s a game-changer in flavor.
5. Season to Perfection
Sprinkle in salt and lots of fresh pepper, seasoning the mixture to perfection.
6. Sizzle the Sausage
Cook the sausage on high heat until it’s browned and perfectly cooked. Drain the excess grease and set it aside.
7. The Hash Brown Base
Spread the frozen hash browns evenly at the bottom of the crock pot, creating a hearty base for your casserole.
8. The Sausage Layer
Now, add the cooked sausage on top of the hash browns, forming the next layer of flavor.
9. Cheese Galore
Ask yourself, “Is this enough cheese?” Our answer: probably not! Go ahead and add the whole big bag, generously covering the sausage.
10. Mix It Up
Give it a good mix, ensuring an even distribution of all the delicious ingredients.
11. Pour the Egg Mixture
Pour the egg mixture over everything in the crock pot, using a wooden spoon to even it out so it’s spread evenly.
12. Set It and Forget It
Turn the crock pot on low for 6-8 hours, and let it work its magic while you sleep.
