Breakfast Casserole In The Slow Cooker Review

When I found this recipe on Pinterest, I was really excited to give it a try... I mean, who doesn't like breakfast?  The original website that the Pinterest pin linked to is this: http://www.alattewithotta.com/2010/11/crock-pott-recipe-egg-brunch-casserole.html 

Basically you later frozen hashbrowns, cooked bacon, sautéed onions and garlic, and cheddar cheese. You then pour a mixture of eggs with whole milk and salt and pepper and some other spices on top.  I personally do not like the spice, dill, so I didn't add any of that.  We aren't huge pepper fans in the morning either (I know, I know...we're boring), so we decided not to put that ingredient in.  We also didn't have any whole milk in the house, so I just used 1% milk and added a little dash of cream.  The main flaw with the recipe is that it claims that you needed to cook it 8 to 10 hours on low in your slow cooker… It was finished in under five.

In the end though, it was pretty good, but I would recommend cooking it for a brunch, lunch or supper.  Setting it before you go to bed to cook for five hours and then warm for a bunch of hours, runs a serious risk of burning, which is what would have happened if I had cooked it for the recommended amount of time.

We added putting a little drizzle of maple syrup or storebrand syrup on top... Made it taste like skillet!
