Slow Cooker Sausage Hash Brown Casserole
Casseroles in a crock-pot are a great item to bring to a family function, potluck or work lunch. They are also great when you want to make something, but you would like it to cook slowly while you either cook other items on the stove or you get to relax and read a book (or clean the bathroom or take a longer nap!)
This dish is a 5 ingredient easy breakfast casserole to make. There is a little prep work of browning the hash browns prior to cooking, but remember, this can be done the night before so you are not rushed in the morning. You can prepare the entire casserole, store it in the refrigerator overnight and then cook in the morning.
I prefer to cook my hash browns in bacon grease. I keep a little jar in the fridge. This time however I used the sausage drippings (not all , just some of it) and browned my hash browns that way. I think it adds a little bit more flavor. But feel free to use butter if you would rather.
Once you have everything ready, dump it in the crock-pot and turn it on.
Make sure that when it is done, a toothpick stuck in the middle comes out clean. Then serve!

Notes
Nutrition
Hi for the hash brown casserole how many hours on low?
standard crock-pot time is double for LOW verses HIGH This recipe is 2-3 hours on HIGH so 4-6 on LOW
Does it stick on the bottom?
It shouldn’t stick on the bottom Raksha, but if you are worried you could spray a little non-stick cooking spray and it should be OK.
This is something I would never have tried but it sounds yummy, thanks for linking up!
Thanks for checking it out Paula!
How world this do doubled? How long would I need it in for?
Looks delicious! Looking to feed 20 after a baptism.
Hi Amy, this recipe has not been tested doubled so I don’t have any information on how it would work or how long it would need to be cooked doubled in volume. You could always buy or borrow another slow cooker and make two batches if you don’t want to test it out on baptism day.
Can this be mixed the night before and store in the refrigerator?
Hi Dimitra, I would think that would work fine.
Can the leftovers be frozen? Please email me the answer
Hey RJ, I don’t see why the leftovers would not be okay frozen. However, I have never had enough leftovers of this Sausage Hash Brown Casserole to freeze. So, if you give it a try please come back and let us know how it worked for you!
