Southwestern Breakfast Slow-Cooker Casserole
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. Cook: 2-1/2 hours + standing
YIELD: 8 servings.
I created this recipe for a breakfast-for-dinner meal one day, and now it’s become a favorite on chilly mornings. Such a wonderful aroma! Using extra-sharp cheddar cheese instead of the milder types allows you to use less, while giving you an extra boost of flavor. —Lisa Renshaw, Kansas City, Missouri
