CHRISTMAS MORNING CROCK POT BREAKFAST
Slow cookers can make quick work of breakfast. What could be better than waking up to the fresh aroma of a hearty morning meal wafting through the house? With the aid of the Crock pot, it's easy to give the entire family a hot breakfast, regardless of when they drag themselves out of bed. This recipe has been passed down to me from friends. It is a Christmas morning tradition in our household. It's great to throw it together the night before and not have to worry about cooking the next morning. We typically spoon it into tortillas and top with salsa for breakfast tacos. Very forgiving recipe, you can do just about anything to it. UPDATE: I've noticed some people not having luck with this, so I wanted to add a few things -- make SURE you use DICED hash browns, little squares, not the shredded stuff. Also, I've only ever made this in an oval crock with a removal ceramic interior. You may want to check it after 8 hours if your crock runs hot.

Steps:
- 1. Spray crock pot and evenly spread hash browns at the bottom. 2. Crack 12 eggs in a large bowl. 3. Mix well (and slowly) using a whisk. 4. Add the milk. 5. Go ahead and sprinkle in the ground mustard. This might sound like a weird ingredient, but I've come to love (and use) this in most of my recipes. 6. Add plenty of salt.... ...and lots of fresh pepper. Mix well and set aside. 7. Cook the sausage on high heat, drain and set aside. 8. Add sausage on top of hash browns. 9. Is this enough cheese? Maybe? Probably. Throw the whole big bag in there. 10. Mix it up well. Or good, depending on where you're from. 11. Pour the egg mixture over everything in the crock pot. Using a wood spoon, even everything out so it's spread evenly. 12. Turn the crock pot on low for 6-8 hours. Some fun variations of this recipe. Before cooking (during prep) you can add: chunks of sourdough bread diced chiles salsa diced green onions
Tips:
- Prep the night before: To save time in the morning, chop your vegetables, measure out your ingredients, and place them in the crock pot the night before. This way, all you have to do in the morning is turn on the crock pot and let it do its thing.
- Use a slow cooker liner: This will make cleanup a breeze! Simply lift out the liner and discard it after breakfast.
- Don't overfill the crock pot: Leave some room at the top so the food can cook evenly.
- Cook on low for 6-8 hours: This will give the flavors time to meld and the food to cook thoroughly.
- Serve with your favorite toppings: Some popular options include maple syrup, butter, brown sugar, whipped cream, and fresh fruit.
Conclusion:
Christmas morning crock pot breakfast is a delicious and easy way to start your holiday. With a little planning, you can have a hot and hearty breakfast ready for your family and friends without any fuss.
