For breakfast or brunch, this Slow Cooker Sausage and Green Chile Breakfast Casserole is a crowd pleaser!

White plate with a piece of sausage and green chile breakfast casserole with tomatoes on side.

Have you ever made a breakfast casserole in the slow cooker? I have tried a few, the overnight crock pot egg dishes don’t turn out well for me, burnt and stinky by the time I wake up. Not something I want to serve to guests. This casserole takes only 2 hours and 15 minutes.

This turns out moist and perfectly cooked. If you want to make this for breakfast and you are not an early riser, brown the meat the night before, and prep everything else as well. When you wake up you can put this together with your eyes closed. I want to save you from an overnight egg disaster, do not try to cook this overnight.

I use sour cream instead of milk for the liquid in the egg mixture. It makes these eggs extra creamy and moist.

Below is what the casserole looks like after cooking, then a bit more cheese and green onions added.

I served this with sliced tomato since I am trying to cut my carbs. But this would be good with an English muffin or toast! We ate this for 2 days, the leftovers were just as good as the first day!

      Would it freeze well?

      I always like to substitute cottage cheese for part of the cheese in a quiche so it will be lower calorie. Can I substitute cottage cheese for the cheese and your recipes and use about 1/4 to 1/2 of the cheese that you call for?

        Yes, that will work great. I’ve had it before in quiches and it’s great!

      How could I adjust this if I don’t have sour cream? I do have milk! And I have salsa verde instead of a can of green chiles , trying to make it work without having to make a run to the store! Looks delicious!

        Sorry I just saw this, I would add milk, but a little less than what it calls for sour cream Should work fine.
