Crack Breakfast Casserole Food

CRACK BREAKFAST CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 2 quart baking dish. Place the hash brown potatoes in the bottom of the baking dish.
• Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook and stir the sausage and onion until the sausage is crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink; drain. Meanwhile, whisk together the eggs, milk, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, and pour over the potatoes. Layer with half the Cheddar cheese, the sausage mixture, and the remaining Cheddar cheese. Cover with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Remove cover; return casserole to the oven and bake until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, about 10 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

CRACK BREAKFAST POTATO CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400F with rack on lower middle position. Set aside 1/4 cup bacon for topping.
• In a large bowl, stir together all ingredients until fully combined well. Transfer to a 9x13 baking pan. Sprinkle reserved 1/4 cup bacon evenly on top. If baking right away, bake for 45-60 minutes uncovered, until top is golden. Otherwise, cover tightly and chill overnight; you'll need to add bake time if the casserole is cold.
• If desired, garnish with chives or parsley. Serve while hot.

CROCK POT BREAKFAST CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Place a layer of frozen hash browns on the bottom of the crock pot, followed by a layer of bacon, then onions, bell pepper and cheese.
• Repeat the layering process two more times, ending with a layer of cheese.
• Beat the eggs, milk, salt and pepper together.
• Pour over the crock pot mixture.
• Cover and cook on low 8-10 hours. Note based on harsh review: If you know your slow cooker runs hot, reduce the time accordingly. I have made this many times at the stated time with great results - best between 8-9 hours, well done at 10, but not burnt.
