Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound bulk sausage, browned and drained
  • 1 cup diced onion
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 cup diced potatoes (pre-cooked or shredded hash browns)

Instructions

  1. Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker.
  2. Spread the browned sausage evenly over the bottom of the slow cooker.

Notes

  • To prevent sogginess, use slightly stale bread or lightly toast the bread cubes before adding them.
  • If you are using raw potatoes, shredding them finely or pre-cooking them slightly will help them cook through completely.
  • You can prepare the sausage and chop the vegetables the night before for quick assembly in the morning.
