Southwestern Crockpot Breakfast

In going over my vast collection of recipes, and the list of posted recipes to your right on the screen to make sure I don't post the same one twice, I came to realize that most are lunch & dinner recipes. So today, I present something good for a nice breakfast or brunch.

SOUTHWEST CROCK POT BREAKFAST

• 1 Tbsp butter or margarine
• 1 lb lean hamburger, cooked and drained
• 1 large white onion, chopped
• 1 green bell pepper, chopped
• 1 4oz can chopped green chillies, drained
• 2 1/2 cups grated pepper-jack cheese
• 18 eggs
• 1 Tbsp jalapeno sauce (optional)

1. Grease the inside of your crock pot with the butter or margarine.
2. Starting with the hamburger, layer the meat, onions, peppers, chillies and cheese, repeating the layering until all ingredients are used.
3. In large mixer bowl, beat eggs with wire whisk or eggbeater until combined (mix in the tablespoon of jalapeno sauce if desired), then pour over mixture in the crock pot.
4. Cover and cook on low 7-8 hours.

I recommend serving this with sour cream (Imo if you're watching your cholesterol) or fresh salsa. Set this to cooking the night before, and wake up to a fantabulous breakfast for you, your family, and friends.

A little side note here; Sometimes, this bubbles over with goodness. To prevent a mess from forming all over your counter surface, place a large plate under the crock pot to catch anything that might bubble out.

As always, eat and enjoy.
