Crock Pot Instructions
- This casserole converts well into an overnight slow cooker/ crock pot recipe! Simply assemble according to recipe in a 5-6 qt. slow cooker. Cook on low for 7-8 hours.
- This method also makes a great breakfast for dinner option! It cooks while you work!
Short Cuts
- Using the pre cooked sausage crumbles is a fantastic short cut for so many recipes including this one. You could also use bacon pieces (usually found on the salad aisle of the grocery store) instead of frying up and chopping thick sliced bacon.
- Cubed ham is also a nice short cut/substitute for the bacon, if your family likes ham!
