Overnight Crockpot Breakfast Casserole?

[GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799]

Has anyone made one of the crockpot breakfast casseroles? I've always wanted to try it but worry that it would overcook and we wouldn't have breakfast. Our oven in the RV stinks, so it would be a great solution if it turns out well.

And does anyone have a recipe that doesn't include hash browns?  Thanks.

I do steel cut oatmeal add a little salt, chopped apples, raisins, brown sugar and cinnamon.  Not a casserole but its yummy, warm and smells awesome!

You can just leave them out, I'm sure. When my friend bakes hers in the oven, she just does the egg/milk/cheese/meat.

That does sound good. I'm curious about how the egg kind turn out.

I wonder how long I'd need to cook it without the potatoes, though.  Any idea?

Someone we camped with earlier this year made one:

 

 

It was tasty, and easy. It was a little more "done" around the edges but that didn't stop anyone from eating it. And sorry, Gwen, it does include hash browns.

I will see if they will send me the recipe and will post it up.

Ok, here is the recipe for the picture I listed above:

 

1 bag 26 oz. frozen hash browns
12 eggs
1 cup milk
1 tablespoon ground mustard
1 16 oz. roll sausage
maple, sage or regular sausage.
Salt and pepper
16 oz. bag shredded cheddar cheese

Directions:
Spray crock pot and evenly spread hash browns at the bottom.
Crack 12 eggs in a large bowl, mix well (and slowly) using a whisk.
Add the milk.
Go ahead and sprinkle in the ground mustard.
Add plenty of salt and lots of fresh pepper. Mix well and set aside.
Cook the sausage on high heat, drain and set aside.
Add sausage on top of hash browns.
Is this enough cheese? Maybe? Probably. Throw the whole big bag in there.
Mix it up well. Or good, depending on where you're from.
Pour the egg mixture over everything in the crock pot. Using a wood spoon, even everything out so it's spread evenly.

Turn the crock pot on low for 6-8 hours.

Some fun variations of this recipe. Before cooking (during prep) you can add:

chunks of sourdough bread
diced chiles
salsa
diced green onions

Thanks for sharing! The eggs don't overcook? It sounds good!

I have texture issues with eggs cooked in the crock pot, the kids liked it, me not so much

 

I love grits overnight in the crock pot and the oatmeal sounds great, but I'm not a fan of anything with eggs imho

I didn't think so. Then again I'm not real picky about food so YMMV.

We did one a while back. We used bacon(cooked and diced ahead) bell peppers, onions and cheese with a recipe similar to the one above. It was good. I used extra hash browns. The sides do get a bit crispy, but still good.
