Crockpot Hashbrown Casserole
Serving my kids a hot breakfast during the school week is really important to me. Â Here is a favorite breakfast recipe that is really simple to pull together and cooks in the slow cooker.
Have you ever made Crockpot Hashbrown Casserole? It’s amazing!
It is perfect to prepare the night before. Then breakfast is ready when everyone gets up the next morning or you can use it as a dinner idea too!
This crockpot hashbrown casserole is a real crowd pleaser!
Ingredients:
- 30 oz frozen shredded plain hashbrowns
- 1-2 cups cooked bacon, ham or sausage (diced or chopped)
- 1/2 of an onion, diced
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 2 cups shredded cheese
- 12 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- salt and pepper to taste (I omitted the pepper since we were using peppered ham)
You can use a combination of meats or stick to just one.
Mix together your eggs and milk (and salt and pepper if you’re using it).
Whisk until well combined.
Dice up the onion and bell pepper.
Evenly add the frozen hashbrowns to your crockpot.
Pour the egg mixture over top.
Add the ham, veggies and cheese.
Mix well.
Pop a lid on it and cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 6-8 hours. (If you’re doing an overnight version, just make sure your crockpot will switch to warm automatically once it reaches the cook time. My crockpot has a built-in timer.)
Here I used ham, bacon and red bell peppers.
Here I just used ham and green bell peppers.
This is how it will look when it’s done.
And your house will smell like breakfast.
Plate it up and serve by itself or add some fruits to the side.
My guys love grapes and orange slices.
This breakfast is perfect for a busy school morning.

This really looks delicious!
This looks delicious! I am always up for anything I can throw in the crock pot and make my life easier! 🙂
Looks wonderful! breakfast in the crockpot would be perfect!
That looks wonderful. Cannot wait to try it out.
Wow this looks great, seems like you could make some serious alterations to it as well for diversity. Maybe even use the left-overs as breakfast burrito filling…fill, wrap, flash freeze, wrap individuals, bag them all up and freeze for grab and go. Perfect solution for my family since the adults are up an hour before the kids.
Excellent suggestions, Mechelle. Thanks so much for taking the time to share.
What a simple and easy breakfast idea – I’ll be saving this one. Thanks so much for sharing it.
Yes please, wake me up at 8 AM for a plate of this won’t you! LOL
Looks delicious than you for sharing.
I make something similar for my B&B guests. I use pepper jack cheese instead of cheddar to kick it up a bit.
Crystal,
