A slow cooker sausage breakfast casserole is a great recipe to make for lazy weekends, when family is visiting or during the holidays.
It’s a combination of shredded russet potatoes, sausage, cheese, eggs and a bit of seasoning. You combine it all the night before, set the slow cooker to low and wake up to a hot breakfast for the entire family. It even stays warm for the ‘late risers’.
