CrockPot Breakfast Casserole

This Breakfast Cassrole has been a favorite recipe of our family for more years than we have had kids. I have changed it up a bit for today's recipe because not everyone in our family likes the onions, peppers, etc that you can add to this to make it even more mouth watering.  Here is the recipe I used for the CrockPot version of the Breakfast Casserole and it has turned out amazing!!! This is for tonight's supper, adding biscuits, salsa and spreadable butter to the menu. Add a square of this to a biscuit with a slice of turkey bacon and sprinkle some cheese and you have a great breakfast on the go too....so....her is my original recipe for....

If desired add to the mix prior to cooking:

1/2 cup green/red/yellow bell peppers, chopped finely
1 teaspoon hot sauce, for a kick
top with crumbled bacon before adding the shredded cheese at the end of cooking time
