Are you looking for a great breakfast recipe? Then you don’t want to miss this Savory Crock Pot Breakfast Casserole from Gooseberry Patch’s Slow-Cooker Christmas Favorites.
Aunt Lou here.
I make a ton of recipes. While Michael and I enjoy almost all of them, I cherish the recipes that Ryder also slaps his seal of approval on. This Savory Crock Pot Breakfast Casserole was one of them. As he was eating it (for dinner), he just kept saying, “This is REALLY good Mommy! Good job!” Music to a mother’s ears!
Savory Crock Pot Breakfast Casserole
This recipe would be great for when you have company over or made up at the beginning of the week to provide breakfast for your family all week. It makes a BUNCH and it is delicious!
Now the original recipe said to cook on low for 8-9 hours, until set. However, mine was done just before 6 hours were up. So, I would recommend watching your crock pot the first time around to see which end of the spectrum your timing falls on. Actually, I recommend that for every recipe when you make it the first time. It just saves a lot of heartache. 😉

Slow Cooker Recommendation
I used my Travel Crock Pot for this recipe. It was perfect because of how deep it is. I definitely would not use a crock pot smaller than 6 quarts. This is one massive recipe!

Can you use savory stuffing mix instead of the bread ? I have done this before in the oven but now it sure go not sure how well it would turn out in a crockpot.
Hi Colleen!
I haven’t tried stuffing in this recipe before, but if you give it a try, let me know how it goes.
Aunt Lou
Would you think this would freeze well? If I sliced it first?
Hi Katie-
Freezing it may impact the texture a bit but we can’t say for sure because we haven’t tried it. If you do, please let us know how it goes!
Can I use cornbread instead of regular bread?
Hi Janine!
I haven’t tried it that way, but if you do, let me know what you think! Enjoy!
Aunt Lou
Could gluten free bread be used instead of regular bread? I am looking for brunch ideas to serve at a birthday party.
Thanks

I have never cooked with gluten free bread, but it is worth a try! Enjoy!
CAN YOU 1/2 THIS RECIPE TOO MUCH FOR ONE PERSON
SOUNDS GREAT
It is a ton of food! I am sure you could halve it. The first time you make the smaller casserole, make sure you watch it closely so you can know how to adjust the cook time. Enjoy!
