I will be trying this one soon. I'll let you know how it goes.
Use your imagination when making this
recipe. Try Canadian bacon instead of ham. Use Havarti or Swiss cheese
instead of Cheddar. Add some minced jalapeno peppers if you like hot
foods. Then enjoy!
Prep Time: 25 minutes
Cook Time: 9 hours
Total Time: 9 hours, 25 minutes
Yield: Serves 12
Ingredients:
- 32 oz. bag frozen hash brown potatoes
- 1 lb. cooked ham, cubed
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1-1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
- 12 eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. pepper
Preparation:
Spray
inside of slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray. In small skillet,
cook onion and green pepper in olive oil until crisp tender. Let cool
about 10 minutes. Place one third of the frozen hash brown potatoes in
the slow cooker. Add one third of the ham, onion, green pepper and
cheese. Repeat layers, ending with the cheese.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs, milk and seasonings until well mixed.
Pour over the ingredients in the slow cooker, cover and turn on low.
Cook for 8-10 hours, until casserole is set and eggs are thoroughly
cooked. If you want to cook on high, it should take 4-5 hours, or 3-4
hours if you have a newer, hotter cooking crockpot. Check the
temperature of the eggs to be sure it's done.
If you have a new hotter cooking crockpot, you'll need to check
this after 6 hours. It will probably be done after 7 hours. The eggs
should reach a temperature of 160 to 165 degrees F.
