Does anyone have one that they have actually made??? I want to bring breakfast into work..needs to already be cooked and we have no way of heating anything up..thought a crockpot one would be good.
I googled and found a bunch using frozen hash browns but for every good review I would see, there were be equal number of bad ones.

No, Annie, but I wish that I did. Sounds like a great concept...breakfast in the crockpot.

On a side note, have you seen these new slow cooker liners for easy clean up? Another wonderful concept!

Yes, those are wonderful! You can also use those oven roastong bags.

That does sound good, but I need something that people can serve themselves throughout the am. Plus that 4 hour cooking time..i get up early enough as it is! LOL

This may not be possible.

did find these and thought they sounded good

Southwestern Crockpot Breakfast

18 eggs
1 small can green Ortega chilis
1 lb. cooked breakfast sausage
2 and 1/2 cups grated Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack cheese

Grease entire crockpot with butter -- just the inside. :-) Starting with sausage, layer meat, chilis, onions, peppers and cheese, repeating the layering process until all ingredients are used and ending with a layer of cheese.

Beat eggs, then pour over mixture in the crockpot. Cover and cook on low for 7 to 8 hours. Serve with sour cream or fresh salsa.

I made cheesy potatoes in my crockpot and used hashbrowns? Does that count?

I mixed up:
32 oz. of hashbrowns
16 oz. of sour cream
1 can of cream of chix soup
salt
pepper
12-16 oz. of cheese.

Mixed it right in the slowcooker, and cooked it on low for 5-6 hours (could probably get it done in 3 on high). Before serving, I sprinkled more cheese on the top and let it melt.

You could easily do these ahead of time, pop them in the fridge overnight, and then just reheat and top w/ the extra cheese in the morning. They'd probably be warm within an hour if you put it on high.

You may want to spray the sides of the dish w/Pam if you're making them up a day ahead.

Texannie, earlier this year, my boss brought in a crockpot full of scrambled eggs, shredded cheese, crumbled sausage and bacon and a jar of salsa and a package of tortillas. We scooped out the egg/cheese/meat mixture into the tortilla, added the salsa and had breakfast burritos. It was very easy and no silverware! :-)

Cook your individual foods ahead of time and just keep warm in the crockpot. You can add a bunch of different ingredients.

Half, that sounds perfect and along the lines of what I am wanting to do. How many crocks did he have? Did he cook his eggs on the stove first and then put it in the crock to stay warm? My problem is that I get up at 3:30 and leave for work at 4:30, really don't want to have to get up earlier to cook.

Sounds like you could use a timer on your crockpot....

I wish someone would invent a powerstrip with a timer... so that you could basically set ANY electrical appliance to come on or turn off at any given time...

I keep waiting for it to showup in the infomericals...but no luck as yet...*sighs*

Couldn't you just use a timer like you use for christmas lights etc. I use one on my electric blanket in the winter..it comes on about 9pm and off by 7am. You can get them here in Canada for under $10 - just plug the crock into that, set it and go

socket timer

Texannie, yes - he cooked everything ahead of time, the night before, on the stove. I think he actually put it all in the fridge after cooking it and then transferred it to the crockpot before he left the house. It didn't take that long to heat up (stir stir stir). You could start the heating when you wake up, get ready for work and then continue heating when you get to work...? Add the cheese whenever you think best.

Thanks Half. What did he use to keep the eggs moist besides the cheese, do you know?

Texannie, there is one that I made just once, that believe it or not, used packaged stuffing mix, like stove top, in the mix. I was shocked at how good it was. And I am very picky, rarely used any prepackaged food in my cooking. I'm researching to find it, will post when I do.

Well, I couldn't find it, but this one must be similar.

1 dozen beaten eggs
14 slices bread
2 1/4 cups milk (lowfat or skim is OK)
2 1/2 cups grated cheddar cheese or monterey jack cheese
1 lb sausage, cooked and drained
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper (more or less to taste)
2 teaspoons mustard (optional)
1 small diced onion (optional)
2 cloves crushed garlic (optional)
3-5 dashes of your favorite hot pepper sauce (optional)

6-8 servings

Grease the sides of the crock with butter.

If desired, spread mustard on one side of the bread and cut bread into large squares.

Make layers in the Crockpot of bread, followed by sausage, followed by cheese, ending with a cheese layer.

Beat eggs, milk, salt and pepper together.
Pour over crockpot mixture, cover and turn on low.

Cook for 8-12 hours.

Last year Flylady told me to make Overnight Oatmeal in my crockpot so I did and it was good. I added some chopped up apples, too. The recipe called for traditional oatmeal (not the quick kind) and I think six parts water to one part oatmeal. It smelled really good in the morning.

If you cook eggs in a crockpot, with sausage, etc., and it's a recipe for 12, can you freeze the remaining part for later if you are just one person? It could save cooking again for awhile. But I don't know if you can thaw out all the precooked eggs and meat and still have it be good???

Julie, this may be the recipe that Emmy remembers...

"Cookie" Oatmeal

1/2 cup steel-cut oats
2 cups water
1/2 cup raisins
Brown sugar
Chopped roasted peanuts

Spray inside of crockpot with non-stick cooking spray. Combine oats, water, and raisins in crockpot (I use a small 1-quart crockpot for this). Cover and cook on low for 8 to 9 hours. Divide into two serving bowls and top with brown sugar and chopped peanuts to taste.

The combination of brown sugar and peanuts really makes this taste like a nutty cookie. You could substitute chopped dried dates for the raisins, but they will tend to "dissolve" overnight and blend in to the oatmeal (in which case, you can use less brown sugar to sweeten).

River,
We have made an egg mixture <scrambled> with different things in it and frozen it, came out just fine when we needed it.

Here is an excellent recipe site, can help you find all kinds of recipes and will do the conversion for you from making a meal for 2 to the same meal for 200.
