Enjoy Slow Cooker Bacon Hashbrown Breakfast Casserole, an easy overnight recipe. Prepare ahead, cook all night, and wake up to a delicious breakfast!
We get so excited when we have overnight guests. Especially during the holidays!
My easy Slow Cooker Bacon Hashbrown Breakfast Casserole recipe is perfect for guests and easy to prepare ahead.
Plug in the slow cooker before you go to bed.
And wake up to a big bowl of deliciousness!
I love to serve it as a buffet with fruit, maybe biscotti or scones, and juice and coffee.
We have a guest room that is fun to get ready, especially for the holiday season with pops of red, water bottles, magazines, and cozy blankets.
Upstairs I’ve finally decorated with a little bit of red, and we still don’t have our tree! In years past, we always had our tree up the weekend of Thanksgiving. Now we live in a forest, and we have no tree. Go figure. :)
But Alder-bear (our Whoodle) is ready for company! (Here’s a peek at our last house at Christmas.)

I do not see any ham listed in the ingredients but it is included in the directions. So, where does the ham come in?
