How To Make overnight breakfast casserole - southwest style

• 1

  Spray a 6-quart crock pot with nonstick spray (or add crock pot liner to slow cooker crockery).
• 2

  Heat water into a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausages and cook 6 to 7 minutes or until water has evaporated. Reduce heat to medium-low, and cook another 6 to 7 minutes or until pork juice runs clear, turning frequently for even cooking. When sausage is fully cooked, cut into bite-size pieces; set aside.
• 3

  In a large bowl, thoroughly mix together the green onions, bell peppers, chilies and cilantro; set aside.
• 4

  Layer 1/3 of the hash browns, sausage bits, green onion mixture and cheese. Repeat layers two more times.
• 5

  In a separate bowl, beat eggs with the milk, salt and pepper. Pour egg mixture over the top of the casserole.
• 6

  Cover crock pot, set heat level to Low, and cook for 7 to 8 hours (internal temperature should reach 160°F). Garnish each serving with a generous spoonful of salsa and a slice of avocado on the side, if desired.
