Slow Cooker Breakfast Sausage Casserole Food

SLOW-COOKER BREAKFAST SAUSAGE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Cook the sausage in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until browned and cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the sausage to a bowl to cool slightly and discard any fat left behind in the skillet.
• Coat the insert of a 6-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Layer half of the hash brown potatoes with half the sausage. Toss the bell peppers with the Cheddar, red onion and 1 cup of the mozzarella. Layer half the mixture over the sausage, then repeat the layering with the remaining potatoes, sausage and vegetable-cheese mixture.
• Whisk the eggs, milk, paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a large bowl, then pour over the casserole mixture. Sprinkle the top with the remaining 1 cup mozzarella, then cover and cook on low until the eggs are set and have become a custard, about 7 hours. Turn off the heat, uncover and let rest for about 10 minutes.
• Sprinkle with sliced scallions and serve with hot sauce and ketchup.

Steps:

• Brown the sausages all over in the same frying pan - make sure they get a really good colour because they won't get any browner in the slow cooker. Transfer to the slow cooker and add the sweet potato and tomatoes.
• Put the purée in the frying pan and add 250ml boiling water, swirl everything around to pick up every last bit of flavour, and tip the lot into the slow cooker. Add the herbs, stock cube and some pepper. Don't add salt until the casserole is cooked as the stock can be quite salty. Cook on high for 4 hrs or on low for 8 hrs, then serve or leave to cool and freeze.
