Having an easy brunch recipe in your list of delicious recipes is a good thing! This Slow Cooker Egg and Sausage Casserole is so easy and always a hit with hungry kids, at brunch potlucks, and on lazy Sunday mornings.
Having breakfast waiting for me when I get up is seriously the best thing ever! This casserole is so easy to throw together and only takes about 5-6 hours on low in the slow cooker, so it’s perfect for late brunch or a really early breakfast.
I love delicious & easy breakfast casseroles, but I love easy slow cooker recipes even more. And this brunch is the perfect blend of those two. Prep it the night before in the crock and put it in the fridge. Set your alarm for 5-6 hours before you want it done and get up to turn it on. Easy! Then go back to bed and when you wake up your breakfast will be waiting for you.

this looks good i will try seems easy peasy
Does anyone know if this freezes well? Thanks so much!
Hi Jenn, I haven’t tried to freeze this one. However, I have frozen other egg dishes and they turn out okay. I’d be interested to hear how it turns out from the freezer, so make sure to let me know if you try it. w-
Hi There,
Just thought that you’d like to know that I found your recipe because it was posted on Pintrest. Someone from my work at home forum found your Pintrest page, because they are looking for more vegetarian cooking ideas, in order to cure their Candida infection. So, they posted the Pintrest page on our forum.
I need to lose weight so I became interested in the vegetarian thread on the forum, which led me to Pintrest, which led me to your blog (Follow all of this, lol).
I’m so fired up, because I just moved and I all I really have for cooking is a Crock Pot. So, thanks for posting slow cooker recipes. I’m a sucker for breakfast casseroles anyway. Can’t wait to poke around your site some more.
how many people does this serve?
About 6… I figure two eggs per person.
I’m seeing so many crock pot recipes, it’s so cool! I’m going to have to give it a try one day!
This looks so good. It’s a perfect way to start or end the day. I love the food and recipes you share with your users. While this is my first visit, I’ll definitelybe back. I hope you have a great day. Blessings…Mary
I love slow cooker recipes! This looks like a winner!
Love the crock pot! Will have to try this in there! I’ve never thought of breakfast it in!! haha
Nummy, sounds really good!
Very cool! I’ve never seen this type of thing in a crock pot.
This looks delicious! I’ve never tried eggs in the crock pot before, but there’s always a first time. I think I’ll give this a go this weekend.
