Slow Cooker Potato Egg and Cheesy Breakfast Casserole

I decided to make this because I had a large bag of red potatoes I needed to use. I diced up 5 red potatoes and put on the bottom of my crock pot. I then added fresh spinach, a can of rotel and shredded cheese.

In the meantime I grounded a pound of breakfast sausage and added 8 oz of cream cheese to it. Hence the cheesy in the title.




I poured this on top of the crock pot. I then whisked 8 eggs and added 1 cup of milk to it and poured it on top of the sausage in the crock pot. Next step was to add more shredded cheese and then I topped it with cilantro. I cooked it on low over night starting at 8 pm and it was ready when I went to check it at 8 am. I would suggest allowing for at least 8 hours to cook it so the potatoes are cooked through. For faster cooking, turn on high for 5 hours. I wouldn't say it looks very pretty, but looks don't always matter. It tasted amazing, the kids loved it and we have leftovers to get through the next few days.



Ingredients:
1 pound of breakfast sausage
5 red potatoes
8 eggs
1 cup of milk
2 cups of shredded cheese
8 oz of cream cheese
spinach
rotel
cilantro (optional)
