We make this during holidays or on mornings when we know we're going to have a busy day. You can set this to cook overnight on low for an early breakfast, or for three hours on high for a leisurely brunch. —Delisha Paris, Elizabeth City, North Carolina

Ingredients

1 pound Jones No Sugar Pork Sausage Roll sausage
2 pounds potatoes (about 4 medium), peeled and cut into 1/2-in. cubes
1/4 cup water
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 medium sweet red pepper, chopped
2 cups fresh spinach
1 cup chopped fresh mushrooms
1 pound cubed deli ham
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
12 large eggs
1/2 cup 2% milk
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions

In a large skillet, cook and crumble sausage over medium heat until no longer pink, 5-7 minutes; drain.
Meanwhile, place potatoes and water in a large microwave-safe dish. Microwave, covered, on high until potatoes are tender, 6 minutes, stirring halfway. Drain and add to sausage.
Stir in onion, sweet red pepper, spinach, mushrooms, ham and cheese. Transfer to a greased 6-qt. slow cooker.
Whisk together remaining ingredients until blended; pour over sausage mixture. Cook, covered, on low until eggs are set, 3-4 hours. Let stand, uncovered, 10 minutes before serving.
