This is a great breakfast casserole for breakfast or dinner!
This Crock Pot Southwest Breakfast Casserole was perfect for my9 x13 casserole slow cooker made by Crock Pot. Of course, I love making all my casseroles in my casserole crock these days, so I guess that’s no big surprise! If you don’t have one, then you will want to use a 5-6 quart crock pot.

I have not made this yet. I’m wondering if 6 eggs are enough and there is no milk added?

Hi Tina!
You are correct. I used 6 eggs and no milk. However, if you would like to adjust the recipe to your tastes, go for it! If you give it a try, let me know how it turns out!

Incorrect oven temperature - Casseroles that are baked at an oven temperature that is too low may not cook evenly, resulting in a soggy top and a firm or crunchy bottom. Too much liquid - Casseroles that have too much liquid may not be able to absorb all of the moisture, leading to a soggy top.
Whisk the eggs, salt, pepper, milk, and cheese together. Evenly pour over sausage/vegetable mixture. Add another sprinkle of salt and pepper on top. Cover casserole with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 24 hours.
How do you know when breakfast casserole is done? Just stick a knife into the center of your egg casserole recipe after 55 minutes of baking. If it comes out clean, your baked egg casserole is ready!
Cook the eggs, Keep scrambled eggs warm by putting them in a crock pot after cooking on the stove. Set it on low, cover, and they'll stay warm for a few hours, without drying out.
The casserole is covered and refrigerated overnight to allow the liquid ingredients to be absorbed into the bread. This is a perishable mixture and should be cooked the morning or day after assembly. Bake in an oven set no lower than 325 °F. Most recipes suggest 350 °F.
Add a starch. Even if you're a beginner cook, you probably know that adding a starch can help transform liquidy dishes into creamy delights. Cornstarch and flour are two popular options, but don't you dare add them directly to your casserole. Instead, make a slurry.
Many casseroles seem to improve in flavour if kept overnight (cool them quickly and keep them in a refrigerator, by the way, once they're cold). This means it's quite possible to make two casseroles while the oven is in full swing, and keep one for the next day.
If you've got raw egg yolks or whites left over from a recipe which you don't want to waste (let's face it, why would you?), you can store them in the fridge as long as you plan to use them within the next few days.
Can You Make Egg Casserole Ahead of Time? This easy egg casserole is the perfect make-ahead breakfast. Simply combine the ingredients the night before and place the mixture in a prepared baking dish, then cover it tightly with storage wrap or foil. In the morning, bake the casserole according to the recipe.
The USDA recommends that cooked eggs and egg dishes should be refrigerated within 2 hours of cooking and consumed within 3-4 days. Leaving cooked eggs out overnight at room temperature increases the risk of bacteria growth, which can lead to food poisoning.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator up to 5 days. Reheat individual servings in the microwave as needed. Baked casserole may be frozen, up to 2 months. Thaw in refrigerator overnight and bake at 350ºF (177ºC) for about 20 minutes or until heated through.
Can I cook two casseroles in the oven at the same time? Of course you can, put them in side by side, midway through cooking turn them both around, if you can't get them side by side put one on top rack and one on the bottom rack, midway through cooking switch racks and turn them around.
It too, is harmless. It occurs when eggs have been cooked for too long or at too high a temperature. Our method – cooking eggs in hot, not boiling, water, and then cooling immediately – minimizes this.
Whisk your eggs with the salt until they're well-mixed and uniform. Count on about two eggs per person, so this scrambled egg recipe (which calls for six eggs) serves about three people. Warm butter in a skillet set to medium-low heat. Once it's juuuuust beginning to bubble, pour the eggs in.
Sometimes a large batch of scrambled eggs may turn green. Although not pretty, the color change is harmless. It is due to a chemical change brought on by heat and occurs when eggs are cooked at too high a temperature, held for too long, or both.
The solution for watery casseroles is instant potato mash powder or cornflour - slake (mix with a little water) at first or it will go lumpy. Stir well. Alternatively, don't add so much water at first, especially if you're using a slow cooker.
Thicken a meat casserole the most popular way with flour.
This way, the flour will soak up the juices and fat in the pan. Add about one teaspoon of flour at a time until you get the right thickness. Use oatmeal four if you have a gluten allergy.
Covering the dish will trap the steam in and keep it moist while it heats. How do you moisten a dry casserole? Add a little water or milk to the top of the it before reheating.
Frozen hash browns will leak moisture during cooking, which could leave a soggy, sad mess behind. For the best results, let the frozen hash browns thaw overnight in the fridge, then thoroughly pat them dry to remove as much moisture as possible before cooking them to crispy.
