Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs mild or spicy breakfast sausage cooked and crumbled
  • 1 32 oz package frozen diced hash brown potatoes thawed
  • 1 bunch green onions thinly sliced, save some for garnishing
  • 12 large eggs
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 1/2 tsp seasoned salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp granulated garlic
  • 1- 1 1/2 tsp black pepper (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • few dashes hot sauce optional
  • 3 cups shredded cheddar cheese or colby jack cheese divided use
  • cherry tomatoes, halved

Instructions

  • In a large skillet cook sausage on medium high heat until no pink remains. Drain excess fat from pan.
  • Spray the liner of a 5 or 6 quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Press 1/3 of hash browns onto the bottom of the crockpot. Top with 1/2 cooked sausage, 1/2 green onions and 1 cup shredded cheese.
  • Repeat, layers with hash browns, remaining sausage, green onions and 1 cup cheese. Finish with final 1/3 hash browns.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, Dijon, seasoned salt, granulated garlic, black pepper, onion powder and a few dashes of hot sauce. Pour egg mixture evenly over hash browns in crockpot. Use the back of a spoon to gently press hash browns into the eggs. (They won't be covered at first.)
  • Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4. (If possible, midway through cooking gently press hash browns down into the egg mixture.)
  • At the end of cooking, uncover and sprinkle the top with reserved 1 cup cheese. Let stand for 5 minutes until cheese melts.
  • Cut into pieces and serve garnished with green onions and cherry tomatoes.

Notes

  • You can add diced red and green bell pepper or jalapeno pepper for heat with the green onions layer.
  • You can use any flavor of cheese that you enjoy in the same amount.
