Step-by-Step Instructions

3. Add the Eggs
-
In a bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper.
-
Pour evenly over the layered ingredients in the slow cooker.
4. Cook It Low and Slow
-
Cover and cook on low for 6–8 hours (perfect for overnight cooking) or on high for 3–4 hours.
-
The casserole is ready when the eggs are set and the top is golden and bubbly.
Serving Ideas

Add fresh chives or green onions for a pop of color.

Top with salsa or hot sauce for a Tex-Mex twist.
