Instructions

Step 1

Start by lining your slow cooker with a liner and give it a quick spray with some cooking spray to keep things from sticking. Next, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the sausage, breaking it up as it browns. This should take about 5 to 7 minutes. Once it’s nicely browned, drain off the grease and set the sausage aside. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, dry mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until everything is well combined.

Step 2

Now it’s time to layer: spread a third of the hash browns on the bottom of the slow cooker, then add a third of the cooked sausage, followed by a third of the shredded Cheddar cheese. Repeat these layers two more times, finishing with the cheese on top. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layers.

Step 3

Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, or until the eggs are fully set and the casserole is hot and bubbly. Let it cool a little before serving, then dig in!

Serving Suggestions

Serve warm with a side of fresh fruit or a light green salad. Add a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh herbs for extra flavor. Toasted bread or a warm biscuit can help soak up any extra sauce.

Storage Tips

Let the casserole cool completely before storing. Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven to maintain its creamy texture.
