If you’re like me, you may have only ever used your slow cooker for dinners and chili during football season. But who says they can’t be used to make an awesome crockpot breakfast casserole?
I don’t know about you guys, but I would prefer not to stand in the kitchen scrambling eggs or making omelets when there are plenty of things on my to-do list I could be crossing off, such as helping the kids get ready for school, preparing lunches, or even sneaking in a quick workout.
Slow cookers are especially helpful if you are entertaining overnight or weekend guests that have to hit the road. You don’t want to waste precious moments in the kitchen when you could be reminiscing about old times.
So why not toss a few healthy ingredients in your slow cooker and create a crockpot breakfast casserole you will have dreams about all night…
