Description

Crockpot Mountain Man Breakfast is a hearty all-in-one breakfast casserole made with sausage, veggies, hash browns, eggs, and cheese. Slow-cooked to perfection, it’s ideal for holidays, weekends, or feeding a crowd with minimal effort.


Ingredients

1 lb breakfast sausage, crumbled

1 medium onion, diced

1 bell pepper, diced (red or green)

4 cups frozen hash browns

8 large eggs

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup milk

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp smoked paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

  1. Cook crumbled sausage in a skillet until browned, then transfer to the crockpot.
  2. In the same skillet, sauté onion and bell pepper for 3–4 minutes until softened. Add to the crockpot.
  3. Spread frozen hash browns evenly over sausage and veggies.
  4. In a bowl, whisk eggs, milk, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Pour over hash browns.
  5. Sprinkle cheddar cheese on top, cover, and cook on low for 7–8 hours or high for 3–4 hours until eggs are set.
  6. Gently stir, garnish with parsley, and serve warm.

Notes

Use spicy sausage for extra flavor.

Swap in turkey or chicken sausage for a lighter option.

Add mushrooms, spinach, or zucchini for more veggies.

Try different cheeses like Pepper Jack, Swiss, or mozzarella.

Assemble the night before and refrigerate for easy mornings.
