Slow Cooker Gouda Sausage Breakfast Casserole
Years ago I posted a slow cooker breakfast casserole idea on RE, but it’s now buried in my archives. Time to revive the idea and post a new recipe, one I tried this last weekend with my family.
You prepare it the night before, turn on the slow cooker, go to bed, and when you wake up, breakfast is ready!
By the way, here’s a little trivia on the difference between a crockpot and a slow cooker. I found it to be interesting.
Back to the yummy recipe …
We love gouda cheese, and the flavor was really good in this casserole.
I also baked my own potatoes, cooled, peeled and shredded them for the recipe. It’s much less expensive than buying frozen.
Do you ever make your own hash browns, or do you always buy frozen?

Anxious to try this this weekend! Do you brown the sausage before you put it in the slow cooker? Thanks!
I make them. I boil the potatoes peeled and left whole until they are pretty cooked. I put them into a bowl of water and tuck them into the fridge for at least an hour, or just leave them there overnight. (The soaking helps them not to absorb as much oil.) In the morning I grate them and fry them brown nice and quick!
So, NEVER thought about buying the potatoes instead of the frozen hashbrowns. Love it. Do you shred them by hand or throw them in a food processor? Bake them just like normal baked potatoes? Just curious about the best method. Thanks, Sandy!
