- 1 bag (32 oz.) frozen shredded hash brown potatoes
- 1 dozen large eggs, slightly beaten (or 2 cartons of egg substitute)
- 3 cups cheddar cheese, shredded

- Repeat this pattern until you’ve used all the sausage, hash browns and cheese…or until the slow cooker is full.

Cooking time too long. Family would not eat it because it was too dry. My dogs loved it though. Would probably be better cooked in oven, but will not fix again.
My husband and I were just saying the same thing. Too long cooking time.
I make a similar casserole that is baked in the oven.
Sauage, hashbrowns, cheese, 4-6 eggs mixed with 1 cup bisquick and 1 cup milk.
mix sausage, hashbrowns and 1/2 cheese together, pour the egg
mixture over the potatoes and to with remaining cheese.
Bake 350 for about 40-50 mins. make sure center is cooked through.
You can make it the night before and bake it in the AM.
This sounds so good. I’ll going to try tonight & have wonderful breakfast in the morning. I have all the ingredients for this dish. Thanks for a delicious recipe.
Do you mean Grated cheese, and are the eggs beaten?
I’m not really crazy abut sausage. Would bacon fare well in a crock pot recipe and cooking for this long? Has anyone tried it with bacon?
4 Ingredient breakfast sounds good. How many does the recipe serve???
Just wondering what size bags of hashbrowns and cheese are we talking about, or does it matter?
Same questions as above – what size bag of hash browns and cheese do we need? What type of cheese? Should eggs be scrambles or whole when being put in? Rating is low only because recipe is incomplete.
Sorry guys.
We’ve updated the recipe to include more details and measurements.
Are the eggs actually scrambled (cooked) or just scrambled (beaten still raw)?
Ann,
The eggs should be raw eggs, slightly beaten.
I make something similar for our church. I prefer using Southern Style hash browns (cubed), and doing it in the oven. The cubed hash browns don’t dry out as much if done in the crock-pot. They’re usually done in 6 hours in the crock-pot. It does get a little dry if done overnight.
To kick it up a notch, I dice 4-6 slices of bacon and fry it up before the sausage. Remove it from the pan and let it drain on paper towels. I cook the casserole, covered, for about 35 minutes. Uncover it and sprinkle some of the cheese over the top and finish cooking. When it’s done, I sprinkle the bacon bits over the top and serve.
Remember everyone’s crockpot runs at different temps., if yours runs hot you will have to shorten the time for cooking.
You need to know how yours works to judge your time. Mine runs a little hotter then my old one. and the new smaller one runs even hotter. The recipe sounds real good I may try it some time during the week when the winds are blowing and the snow is falling and at 6:30 in the morning that recipe sounds yummy and warm all over, like old fashion oatmeal.
