slow cooker chorizo breakfast casserole

In my perfect world, I would have a crock pot of this breakfast casserole hot and ready for me every single morning.  Also in this so-called perfect world, I would wake up at 6:30 every morning without an alarm, be greeted by a cup of coffee from the cutest guy I know (Marc), and leisurely make my way downstairs still in my pajamas to my piping hot breakfast casserole.  Doesn’t that just sound delightful?!

Back to reality, now.  If I can’t have an alarm-free and coffee-in-bed morning every day, at the very least I can have this breakfast casserole whenever I want.  This isn’t one of those breakfast casseroles full of bread and heavy cream that I make for company so I don’t have a weeks worth of leftovers.  No siree.  This is full of diced potatoes, onions, bell peppers, chorizo, eggs, and cheese.  Not too shabby, right?

Even better, I used a combination GO Veggie! Lactose Free Cheddar Shreds and GO Veggie! Lactose Free Monterey Jack & Cheddar Shreds, and since cholesterol free,  I can feel even better about eating this every day.  Just don’t forget the cheese because you guys, a whole package goes in this baby.

Instead of using hash browns, like many breakfast casseroles do, I decided to use some frozen diced potatoes instead.  Either would work in this situation, but I liked the chunks of potatoes opposed to the shredded hash browns.

One last thing – right after I finished taking photos of this I went back into the kitchen only to realize I forgot to put the salsa on top for the pictures.  Doh!  I was just too hungry to re-shoot it with the salsa but I’m telling you – don’t leave off the salsa!  It was a great addition on top.
