How To Serve Spicy Crock Pot Brunch Casserole

Spicy Crock Pot Brunch Casserole would be perfect for Easter or a weekend Brunch. It feeds a crowd and can be kept warm in the crock pot if not everyone is eating at the same time. A holiday doesn’t go by without me making at least 1 dish in my crock pot. It helps free up oven space for other things. Plus nothing is better than waking up to an already made hot breakfast.

This Spicy Crock Pot Brunch Casserole is full of sausage, eggs, hash browns, and cheese and it is super filling.

Make It Spicy

Gotta make it spicy!

I used hot sausage and a few shakes of Tabasco sauce to spice it up, plus some Pepper Jack cheese. Crock pot brunch casseroles can be a little bland if you’re not careful, so I say go heavy on the spice.  🙂

Suggested Equipment

• Large Nonstick Skillet
• 6-Quart Slow Cooker- I love this Hamilton Beach 6qt Slow Cooker.

Recipe Tips

You can use bacon instead of sausage if you like, or you could use leftover Easter ham to make a breakfast casserole the day after Easter.

Hash Browns taste infinitely better if they are seasoned well so be sure to give them a sprinkling of salt and pepper as you spread them out in the crock pot.
