Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spread the bacon and sausage onto a rimmed baking sheet and bake, tossing halfway through with a flat metal spatula, until their fat renders and both are golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the meat to paper towels to drain and discard their fat.
- Coat the insert of a 6-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Layer half the hash brown potatoes with half the bacon and sausage. Place the canned tomatoes and chiles in a sieve and press as much liquid out of them as possible; discard the liquid. Transfer the tomatoes and chiles to a bowl and toss with the pepper Jack cheese, red onion and 1 cup of the mozzarella. Layer half the mixture over the meats, then repeat the layering with the remaining potatoes, bacon and sausage and cheese and vegetable mixture.
- Whisk the eggs, milk, chili powder, cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl, then pour over the casserole mixture. Sprinkle the top with the remaining 1 cup mozzarella, then cover and cook on low until the eggs are set and have become a custard, about 7 hours. Turn off the heat, uncover and let rest for about 10 minutes. Sprinkle with cilantro and serve with hot sauce and lime wedges.

SLOW COOKER BREAKFAST CASSEROLE
I posted this recipe to try. My family wasn't real crazy over this recipe. But I changed this recipe from what it was suppost to be. When I made this I used english muffin loaf, jimmy dean sage sausage, and eggs. I cooked this on high for 2 hours. The texture is what was off for my family it to soggy for us and I just think maybe it would still be soggy if followed as directed. I found this at Obesity Help. This recipe was posted by marylyn.

Tips for the Best Slow Cooker Breakfast Casserole
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your casserole.
- Don't overcook the casserole. The eggs should be set, but not rubbery. Overcooked eggs will make the casserole dry and tough.
- Feel free to add your favorite ingredients. Some popular additions include diced bell peppers, mushrooms, spinach, or cheese.
- Serve the casserole immediately. Or, you can keep it warm in a slow cooker on the "warm" setting for up to 2 hours.
