How to Make Slow Cooker Overnight Breakfast Casserole

  1. Cook 1 lb Johnsonville sausage (your favorite kind!) according to package directions.
  2. Once cooked, let the sausage cool slightly, then cut it into 1/4-inch slices.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup chopped green onions, 1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper, 1-4 finely chopped jalapeños (adjust to your spice preference), and 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro.
  4. Generously spray a 5-6 quart slow cooker with vegetable cooking spray.
  5. Layer one-third of 3 cups shredded hash browns, the cooked sausage, the green onion mixture, and 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese into the slow cooker.
  6. Repeat layers twice, ending with cheese.
  7. In a separate bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1 cup milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  8. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layered ingredients.
  9. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 7-8 hours, or until a food thermometer inserted into the center reads 160°F (71°C).
  10. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
