🍳 Slow Cooker French Fry Breakfast Casserole

🛒 Ingredients:

• 1 (28–32 oz) bag of frozen French fries (any cut — crinkle, shoestring, or waffle all work!)

• 8 eggs

• 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite blend)

• ½ cup milk

• (Optional but delicious: diced cooked bacon, ham, or sausage; chopped onions or peppers; hot sauce)

🥣 Instructions:

1. Grease your slow cooker.
Spray the inside with non-stick spray or lightly butter it to prevent sticking.

2. Layer in the frozen fries.
Dump the frozen French fries directly into the bottom of the slow cooker. No need to thaw!

3. Add cheese.
Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the fries.

4. Whisk the eggs and milk.
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and a pinch of salt and pepper. You can add hot sauce or herbs here if you like.

5. Pour over the fries and cheese.
Gently pour the egg mixture over everything in the slow cooker.

6. Cook on LOW for 6–8 hours (or HIGH for 3–4 hours).
You’ll know it’s done when the eggs are set and fluffy, and the top is golden and cheesy.
