Breakfast in the Crockpot

When I saw this recipe I thought it would be nice to have a ready-made breakfast on a Saturday morning but instead made it for dinner the night before because I couldn't wait. It was so simple and quick. This breakfast casserole has everything you need in it so no side dishes are necessary. We had it with a littl fresh fruit on the side. It reheats nicely the next day so you can enjoy it again!
* I substituted turkey sausage crumbles in place of the regular ones to make it more of a healthy meal!
