Can I double this recipe for a crowd?

Yes, but make sure your slow cooker’s big enough. I once tried to double it in a smaller one, and let’s just say dinner was delayed and the center took ages to set. If you double, use a 6-quart or larger and add a little time.

Can I assemble this the night before?

Absolutely. Assemble it in the slow cooker insert, cover, and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, let it sit out for about 20 minutes while you preheat, then cook. This is a great easy crock pot recipe trick for busy mornings.

What if my casserole is still watery?

If it looks watery at the end, lift the lid and let it cook uncovered on high for 20 to 30 minutes. Or, transfer to a baking dish and broil briefly. Sometimes the bread didn’t soak up enough because it was too fresh or the egg mix was very thin.

Can I make this gluten-free?

Yes. Use gluten-free bread or frozen hash browns that are labeled gluten-free. Check your sausage ingredients too, since some sausages contain fillers with gluten.

Is this good for meal prep?

It is excellent for meal prep. Slice and store portions in airtight containers. Use the “Crockpot Breakfast Casserole - Great for Meal Prep!” style to inspire batch cooking habits that make weekday mornings runnable.
