Preparation
What kind of biscuits?
I like to use canned biscuit dough that can be found in the refrigerated section at your market. You could also use a homemade biscuit dough.
What can I use instead of biscuits?
If you’d like to keep this gluten free or just don’t want to use biscuits you can swap them for a bag of frozen or refrigerated shredded hash browns.
What kind of meat for crock pot breakfast casserole?
We used diced ham (leftover from our crockpot holiday ham!) but this is also delicious with cooked breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled bacon, leftover diced steak, or a mix of whatever you have on hand.
Leftovers and storage
How long do the leftovers last?
Store leftovers in an air tight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in individual portions on high heat in the microwave.
Can you freeze crock pot breakfast casserole?
We don’t recommend freezing this recipe as eggs don’t typically reheat well after having been frozen.

My family loves breakfast for dinner, so I decided to give this a try. I used the hashbrowns instead of the biscuits, and everyone loved it. I was hoping for leftovers, but not a chance! 🙂
Oh heavens this turned out good!! I needed something to send with my husband to his work for breakfast, and now everyone is asking me to make it again! Thank you!
This is so crazy easy! And so tasty, too! I’m totally making this for the next potluck brunch I go to! Less worry & prep = more fun! Love this!
Can you prep it all in the crockpot the night before and then cook it the next morning?
I love crackpot meals but was also wondering if you have made this in the oven if so what temp and how it turned out
can you double the recipe?
sure 🙂
