Sausage-Potato Breakfast Casserole

By Marybeth Feutz 2 Comments

We love a good hearty breakfast around here. But mornings can be really rushed for us. And when you have a busy toddler underfoot, cooking before I’ve had my daily supply of coffee can be a bit tough for me! I am a big fan of any breakfast I can set up in my slow cooker the night before.

Give this Slow Cooker Sausage & Potato Breakfast a try for a hectic morning when your family needs a hearty breakfast!

Sausage-Potato Breakfast Casserole

This recipe is in Gooseberry Patch‘s new cookbook, “Slow-Cooker Christmas Favorites.” While we may not actually make this breakfast casserole for Christmas morning, it is definitely going into the rotation for yummy slow cooker breakfasts!

We spend most Christmas mornings with Farmer Doc’s parents. And my mother-in-law always makes her Christmas Breakfast Casserole recipe. But we can get so distracted with the excitement of Christmas morning that we often forget to start preheating the oven until we are already hungry… which means we are downright starving by the time breakfast is ready!

And then for the rest of the year Farmer Doc wonders why we can only have Christmas Breakfast Casserole on Christmas.

Well, this Sausage-Potato Breakfast Casserole solves both problems! We can set up the slow cooker the night before and turn it on right before we head to bed. Then breakfast will be ready when we are!

Plus, this recipe is so easy to put together, we can have it any time of the year. And there is nothing that says this “breakfast” casserole can only be served for breakfast… who doesn’t like a good “breakfast for dinner” night?

A word of warning about this recipe… If you overcook it, your potatoes will get mushy. No one likes mushy potatoes. You definitely want to stick to the 6-8 hours cooking time as closely as you can. (This is where a programmable slow cooker can come in handy! Get it ready before you head to bed, then set the timer for 1-2 hours later, depending on how long you plan to sleep.)

    might I ask can I make ahead and pop in the oven instead of the crock pot?

    I haven’t tried to make this recipe in the oven, but I’m sure it can be done! You’ll need to watch it carefully to make sure it gets fully cooked without being over-cooked.
