How long will these keep in the fridge? I want to use them as meal prep for breakfast before school. Thanks!
I’d say about 3 days, but you could also freeze them.
Can you freeze leftovers?
Yes, that would work great.
Will this fit in a 4qt crockpot by chance? That’s all I have
Yes, it will fit.
Can this be doubled? Do you double the cook time?
You may need to cook an extra hour, that’s it.
Can I make this in the oven? If so, how do you recommend I do it?
I can’t say without testing it. I apologize.
Hi, substitution for the milk, any Ideas? Thanks
Sour cream or heavy cream works.
Can this be frozen for quick breakfast?
I don’t see why not! If it was me I would just chop the vegetables, and brown the meats, and put in the bag. Add to eggs and milk the day you want to use it.
If I want to add potatoes should I add them to the slow cooker with all the other ingredients?
They would have to be cooked, this is just cooking the eggs and slightly cooking the peppers and onions. I’m even unsure if frozen hashbrowns would be good, they may have a raw flavor in this recipe.
Can you omit the cheese ?
Yes! Will work fine.
