I tried this recipe on my family Christmas morning this year, and everyone loved it. It made a big crock full, and there were no leftovers -- even the little kids had seconds! Other things I like about the recipe are that it's awesomely easy, very flexible, it didn't scorch the eggs, and no stress Christmas morning! We will definitely be enjoying this recipe again.

Ingredients

  • 32 ounces frozen hash browns or tater tots
  • 1 pound favorite breakfast meat - ham, sausage, bacon, dried chorizo
  • 3 cups shredded monterey jack cheese
  • 2/3 cup shredded parmesan cheese
  • 4 tablespoons sundried tomato strips
  • 6 - green onions, sliced
  • 12 - eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • - optional add-ins: green chiles, pimiento, bell pepper, a little hot sauce to the egg/milk mixture

How To Make family breakfast casserole

  • Step 1
    Prepare a 6 qt. crock with food release spray.
  • Step 2
    Prepare the meat, tomatoes, onions, and cheese (or purchase shredded cheese).
  • Step 3
    Into the crock, evenly layer half the potatoes, then half the meat, half the cheeses, half the sun-dried tomato, and half the onion. Repeat layers. Set aside.
  • Step 4
    In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the milk, salt and pepper, and whisk again until well combined.
  • Step 5
    Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layers in the crock.
  • Step 6
    Cover. Cook on LOW for 8 hours or on HIGH 4 hours, or until the eggs are set.
  • Step 7
    NOTES: You could sub 1 c. chopped fresh tomato for the sun-dried tomato. You could also use mozzarella cheese instead of Jack, or whatever kind you prefer. I think you could easily add more egg/milk mixture, if you wanted to make more servings. This recipe would also be a delicious breakfast-for-dinner meal! I cooked 8 hours at 200 degrees -- the eggs were set and the food warm through. I would have preferred it to be hot, so next time I'll turn up the heat for 10 or 15 minutes just before serving.
