Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 1 package Hash Browns Provides structure and texture; can substitute with sweet potatoes for a healthier option.
  • 1 cup Savory Ham or Bacon Offers a rich flavor; substitute with turkey sausage for a leaner choice.
  • 1 medium Onion Adds sweet depth; yellow or white varieties work best, consider adding bell peppers.
For the Creamy Filling
  • 2 cups Cheddar Cheese Contributes creaminess; alternatives include mozzarella or pepper jack.
  • 8 large Eggs Binds everything together and boosts protein; use egg whites for a lower-fat version.
Optional Add-ins
  • 1 cup Green Peppers Great for adding freshness and crunch.
  • 1 cup Mushrooms Adds an earthy flavor; sauté them lightly before adding.

Equipment

  • Crock Pot

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by prepping your ingredients. Chop onions and additional vegetables into small, even pieces. Dice the ham or bacon into bite-sized pieces.
  2. In your crock pot, layer frozen hash browns at the bottom, followed by your chosen meat, chopped onions, and additional veggies. Top with shredded cheddar cheese, repeating the layers until all ingredients are used.
  3. In a mixing bowl, crack and whisk the eggs, seasoning with salt, pepper, and desired spices. Make sure this is done well for uniform flavor.
  4. Carefully pour the whisked eggs evenly over the layered ingredients, using a spatula to gently stir the top layer to ensure even cooking.
  5. Cook on low for about 8 hours, allowing the eggs to set and the edges to turn golden.
  6. After cooking, let it rest for a few moments. Serve hot, optionally with toast, salsa, or coffee.
