Are you looking for an easy breakfast casserole that everyone loves? This Slow Cooker Southwest Breakfast Casserole is a family favorite (and low carb too)!
Cris here.
As you probably already know, we LOVE our egg casseroles around here. So when we got back from our big trip to the southwest, I decided to make a low carb breakfast casserole to help us remember those yummy flavors we enjoyed throughout our trip. Everyone loved it! In fact, we have made it several times since being home as we are now dreaming up our next big adventure in the RV ;).
How to Make Southwest Breakfast Casserole in a Crock Pot
We love using a simple egg, cream and cheese base for most of our egg casseroles and this dish is no different. You simply brown sausage in a skillet or using the saute feature on a multicooker and then drain sausage, reserving some fat to grease your 6 quart slowcooker or multi-cooker. Then, in a bowl, combine beaten eggs, cream, salt, pepper and 1/2 cup of cheese. Next you will pour your eggs into slow cooker/multi-cooker, add sausage evenly and sprinkle remaining cheese on top. Finally, drizzle salsa evenly on top and cook on high for 60-90 minutes or until the center is set. Then slice and serve with a dollop of sour cream. An incredible breakfast that is super easy.
Notes on Slow Cooker Breakfast Casserole
- We like using multi-cookers like our Ninja for recipes like this, but any 6 quart slow cooker will work.
- As with any of our recipes, carb counts, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly depending on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish.
- All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline and should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.

Do you think this would freeze well? I was thinking of making individual servings after it cooked so I could heat them quickly in the morning? I wouldn’t put sour cream on until serving. Thanks!
We haven’t tried it, but think it could work. If you give it a try, let us know how it goes!
What about using the Casserole slow cooker? Would that work? The largest other one I have is a 5-qt round.
