Wake Up Mom with Something Hot & Filling on Mother’s Day! May 9, 2014

Hello Friends and Happy Fri-Yay!!  

Cheerios has done it again with this cute Mother’s Day “Morning Wake Up Call Commercial”

I like it because for the little ones that can’t cook it’s a perfect breakfast to make for Mom on Mother’s Day. However, if you’re a Mom that likes to wake up to something hot (not dad), and a little bit more filling, (not dad) then try this recipe for a Slow Cooked Breakfast Casserole, it’s easy to make and cooks itself overnight.

 Ingredients:

• 1 – 12 oz package frozen hash browns
• 1 – package breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled
• 12 oz shredded cheese
• 6 – *scallions chopped
• 8 eggs
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp pepper – a few more dashes when layering the hash browns

I purchased Jimmy Dean fully cooked turkey sausage and *Safeway brand frozen potatoes with onions and green peppers so I didn’t use the scallions.  I originally made this back in December after seeing the recipe on Brown Eyed Baker’s blog.  Like she said, it was hard to stay asleep because around 5:00 am, the smell and aroma that generated from the kitchen woke me up!  

On Saturday night’s I’m usually up late watching television and working on my blog, so this is a perfect recipe to start late for an early morning Sunday breakfast.  

After spraying the crock pot with cooking spray, layer 1/3 of the hash browns, sprinkle on some pepper, add 1/3 of the sausage then sprinkle on some cheese.  Repeat until all ingredients are used making sure the last layer is the cheese.

In a large bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, and pepper. Pour this over the hash browns, sausage and cheese in the crock pot. 

Slow cook on low for 6-8 hours – try to get some sleep because the smell will definitely wake you up before your alarm clock does!

Pour a cup of coffee or tea then enjoy your early morning breakfast casserole in bed!  What do you think, is this something you would enjoy waking up to?

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!

Don’t forget to come back at 6:00 p.m. for the #WWDParty!
