Crockpot Breakfast Casserole

Crockpot breakfast casserole made with biscuits, ham, eggs, and cheese is a delicious and super easy breakfast option!

This recipe for slow cooker breakfast casserole is a Sunday morning favorite in our house – it tastes amazing and is great for a crowd. I love to serve it with a side of roasted asparagus and baked pumpkin donuts.

Crockpot Breakfast Casserole Ingredients

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.
