Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Slow Cooker Breakfast Burritos.
Step 1
Start by heating a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Add the breakfast sausage and use a spoon to break it apart as it cooks.
Step 3
Keep an eye on it for about 8 minutes, until it’s lightly browned and crumbly.
Step 4
Next, toss in the chopped onion and bell pepper, cooking for another 5 minutes until the onion becomes soft and fragrant.
Step 5
If there’s any excess oil, simply blot it away with a paper towel.
Step 6
Continue cooking the sausage mixture for an additional 5 to 7 minutes, ensuring the sausage is fully cooked through.
Step 7
Once done, you can set this aside or even prepare it a day in advance for convenience.
Step 8
Now, grab your slow cooker and give the inside a light spray with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 9
Add the delicious sausage mixture, along with frozen hash browns and a generous amount of shredded Cheddar cheese.
Step 10
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, kosher salt, and black pepper until everything is well combined.
Step 11
Pour this creamy mixture over the ingredients in the slow cooker and give it a good stir to ensure everything is evenly mixed.
Step 12
Cover the slow cooker and let it work its magic.
Step 13
You can choose to cook on Low for 6 to 8 hours or on High for 3 to 4 hours.
Step 14
Don’t forget to stir it after the first hour to help everything cook evenly.
Step 15
When the cooking time is up, you’ll have a warm, hearty breakfast ready to serve.
