This crockpot breakfast casserole recipe is perfect for big families when visitors are staying over for the holidays, or for any meal when you’ll have a lot of mouths to feed! It’s a delicious combination of breakfast favorites that’s sure to please everyone.

This breakfast casserole is also super easy to make and can be made overnight if you want it piping hot and ready to eat first thing in the morning.

Why Crockpot Breakfast Casserole is Awesome

I love this breakfast casserole for four big reasons:

1. It’s a hearty, well-rounded meal. With plenty of protein, wholesome potatoes, and even some veggies, you have a truly complete meal in one pot.
2. It’s no-fuss. Add the ingredients, set the timer, and you’re done. Just dish it out and everyone can enjoy! Since it’s a complete breakfast in one casserole, side dishes are totally optional.
3. You can feed a crowd. When you have relatives staying in town or lots of kiddos at the house, this breakfast casserole will feed a small army – and you don’t have to slave over a hot stove all morning to make it happen.
4. Yummy leftovers. If you don’t happen to devour the whole recipe, this breakfast casserole keeps well in the fridge for up to four days. It also reheats well and still tastes amazing days later.

Why I Make My Breakfast Casserole with Hash Browns

Potatoes are a healthy, whole-food addition to this breakfast casserole. They’re also gluten-free, which makes them perfect when you have a group of family members or friends who may need that option.

While I use shredded hash browns in this recipe, you can use cubed or chopped potatoes (fresh or frozen) as a substitute if needed.

Substitutions & Tips for This Breakfast Casserole Recipe

• You can use any breakfast meat you love or a combination of all your favorites!
• If you would like to make this breakfast casserole meatless, you can substitute a vegetarian option for the meat.
• If you like seasoned hash browns, you can add salt, pepper, or your favorite seasoning combo on top of the hash browns (before you add the other ingredients).
• Overnight option: Cook this recipe on low for 7-8 hours if you want to cook it overnight and eat your breakfast casserole first thing in the morning.
• Sneaky veggie tip: if you have picky eaters that might balk at the peppers in the recipe, try using just yellow peppers (they’ll blend in perfectly!).
