Crock Pot Breakfast Casserole

Directions

1. Spray crock pot and evenly spread hash browns at the bottom.

---

2. Crack 12 eggs in a large bowl.

---

3. Mix well (and slowly) using a whisk.

---

4. Add the milk.

---

5. Go ahead and sprinkle in the ground mustard. This might sound like a weird ingredient, but I've come to love (and use) this in most of my recipes.

---

6. Add plenty of salt....

---

...and lots of fresh pepper. Mix well and set aside.

---

7. Cook the sausage on high heat, drain and set aside.

---

8. Add sausage on top of hash browns.

---

9. Is this enough cheese? Maybe? Probably. Throw the whole big bag in there.

---

10. Mix it up well. Or good, depending on where you're from.

---

11. Pour the egg mixture over everything in the crock pot. Using a wood spoon, even everything out so it's spread evenly.

---

12. Turn the crock pot on low for 6-8 hours.
