We love Slow Cooker recipes. Some of our favorites include Slow Cooker Mexican Meatloaf and Slow Cooker Potatoes & Meatball Soup!

Slow Cooker Breakfast Casserole

This is one of my favorite ways to cook breakfast for a crowd. When you cook for a large family, that’s a pretty common event! However, Slow Cooker Breakfast Casserole is also a great option for a holiday breakfast or event.

With the slow cooker, all the work is done for you – just mix it up and let it go!

CAN I USE A DIFFERENT TYPE OF MEAT OR CHEESE?

We love the combination of ground sausage and mozzarella cheese, but you can use whatever you like! If you don’t have any sausage on hand, feel free to substitute ham, ground turkey, or hamburger. Cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese would also work well!

That’s one thing I love about this recipe…you can easily customize it to whatever you have on hand. Just keep the quantities the same!

CAN I MAKE SLOW COOKER BREAKFAST CASSEROLE AHEAD OF TIME?

This recipe is designed to be ready when you need it to, but if you would like to make it a day or two ahead of time, you certainly can! Just keep it refrigerated and reheat it when you’re ready to serve.

WILL SLOW COOKER BREAKFAST CASSEROLE FREEZE WELL?

Due to the amount of eggs,  and dairy in this recipe, I would not recommend freezing it. Doing so could cause odd textures or separation. It is easy to prep and will keep well

Happenings From Our Family of 9

 

We went on vacation last week to Branson, Missouri.  The resort we were staying at, had plenty of great amenities that kept the kids busy, including basketball.  This picture is of my husband schooling my 13 year old daughter in how to play basketball.  He’s been playing since he was in grade school and has always loved the sport.  We had just gotten out of the pool, so she wasn’t exactly dressed for the game, but it was a fun time of learning to shoot baskets and just being together as a family.

    Thank you so much! As a special needs mommy these recipes have helped us so much.   I often am very busy with being a nurse for our child that I don't have time for making sure we get meals.  This allows me to do all my prep on the weekends, while my husband is home to help, and to cook during the week.  So grateful!

    Sarah’s Freezer to Slow Cooker ebooks have been a fantastic addition to my meal plans.  They make meal planning easy and my family happy. I love the way each recipe is laid out, with a shopping list and ingredient prep list, along with cooking instructions. Sarah’s done all the hard work for me!  The recipes have used have all been delicious and easily adaptable to my family’s taste and the number of people I’m serving.

  • FranOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebooks
     I purchased all of your freezer to slow cooker ebooks a month or so ago and I'm in love with this way of cooking.  I now have taken all 10 weeks of recipes and written them of my menu planner and then I repeated the 10 weeks and will continue to do so throughout the year.  My family of 5 adults and 1 child enjoy the meals that you have planned and I have cooked and I'm excited that the next time when that meal comes due up in the rotation I won't have to purchase anything but just pull it from the freezer.  Thank you so much

    This makes my life so much easier. I'm a busy work at home/stay at home mom, wife, business woman and I feel like dinner is always the thing I just never get time to do. We have done like 15 of the crockpot recipes from Sarah and they are all very yummy. They get a thumbs up from my husband and kids every time. And there is always enough for my husband to take the left overs at least 2x per recipe. I have a family of 5, 2 adults, 21, 13, 16. So it makes plenty. Thank you Sarah.

    I am a 59-year-old wife and mother of two grown children.  I love your idea of fixing a lot of meals ahead of time and then pulling one out, put it in the crockpot, and you have dinner when you get home.  I hate feeling rushed when I cook so Monday - Friday I use those crockpot meals and make enough that we have lunch the next day.  I take Sunday afternoon, fix up what I need for the week (I don't have a lot of freezer space so I do a week's worth at a time) and I'm done with it!  Saturdays I like to try new recipes from some of my cookbooks which I am finding I can freeze as well!  So you have shown me a whole new way to organize my time and still put a healthy meal on the table.  Thanks so much and I look forward to future blogs.
