What I want to know is, what happens if the breakfast just happens to be in the crock pot? Hmmm? How does THAT work. Your girl is nothing if not resourceful when it comes to sausage.

And since I started thinking about that… I was like wait– you can make breakfast in a crockpot, right? And then I went down this rabbit hole… which I share with you, my friends. 

Have I tried these recipes? No…. Am I going to? I mean, in my mind I am. I do have a crockpot…

If I am being completely honest, I found this list on my blog and decided to update it on account of I want some cheesy breakfast deliciousness in my slow cooker, mmmk? 

33 Slow Cooker Breakfast Recipes

Okay stop everything because I could wake up right now to this monkey bread.

I am not a fan of cinnamon– but I know all the rest of you are, so here’s a recipe cinnamon roll monkey bread that even I, the self proclaimed hater of cinnamon might be willing to try.

I think that maybe this isn’t for me, because like Cranberry orange oatmeal sounds insanely like you are just eating warm mush by the morning… 

Okay but like I could get on board with, pecan pie oatmeal on account of that sounds tasty as all get out.

Now we are getting somewhere… breakfast stuffed peppers are what I want for honestly every meal ever.

But everybody freaking loves apple oatmeal plus you can like add in whatever delicious spices or whatever tickle your fancy…

I don’t actually like carrots of zucchini, but for some reason If you turn them Into a delicious bread, I am In, so I might try this carrot cake and zucchini bread oatmeal.

Orange sweet rolls Oh BABY. Yes please. I don’t really need to have a relationship status talk… I just need these in my life.

Okay but like I could totally whip up this glazed coffee cake and everyone I know gonna be all, “dang girl you should be an insta cook…”

Oh wait STOP… apple fritter breakfast casserole basically wants me to eat it all the days. Right?

Oh and then there’s egg nog french toast which like.. bro, I don’t care that it isn’t Christmas. I want this right meow.

Hold up, you can just whip up some banana bread in your crockpot? This might change my life.

Also, I don’t know how I feel about french toast but I love all things vanilla, so I might go to town on this vanilla bean and almond french toast.

Ima be real, I don’t actually even really understand grits, but I might make them if you can do It in a crockpot.

I know I said I don’t like cinnamon, but the weird thing is that I am crazy obsessed with all things pumpkin, so I’d probably be all about this pumpkin pie oatmeal. 

Ohhh… but like this cherry almond steel-cut oatmeal might just be where it’s at.

But like if I was making breakfast for a whole pile of people… wait does this mean we gotta be serious about the whole pile— anyway, I digressed again, here’s the freaking blueberry breakfast casserole.

I am totally a savory breakfast girl though, and this freaking veggie omelette is kinda doing it for me.

Okay the thing about yogurt Is that I am always like… I love yogurt it’s going to be so delicious, and then I put it in my mouth and it is just… not. At all. And making it in a crock pot sounds way too warm for me. What would this make your house smell like?

Oh hold up everything though because slow cooker ham and potato casserole would be one of those things I eat with a fork in front of the fridge for like two days longer than I probably should keep those leftovers.

I am not above dessert for breakfast though, and I feel like nutella Is the perfect cheat for this… so I’d probably do whatever I could to eat this nutella french toast casserole with caramelized bananas. 

Bro… there’s a part of me that would like buy the stuff to make this frittata with kale, roasted red peppers, and feta and maybe even make it and pretend like it was so freaking good. 

But really I just want some freaking german pancakes and sausage Mediterranean quiche.

Wait… nope stop. I found It… sausage and egg breakfast casserole for when you just want to throw breakfast into the crockpot. YESSS.

But also like, there’s chocolate chip french toast and that brings me all sorts of joy.

I’ll tell you what though– I really feel like hust like a pile of breakfast potatoes Is basically all I really need in my breakfast life. This is why I usually end up with a beakfast nap, though…

Bro what Is even creme brulee french toast?

I mean I would absolutely spicy breakfast casserole. No question.

But like, this salted caramel almond granola would basically be my new garnish on all the meals all the time. Can I just eat this by the handful? I can, right?

Wait… this one’s always my favorite… banana french toast.

but also hash brown breakfast casserole, is way too easy to make and now I want it right now.

I have no freaking Idea what black bread is but apparently it’ like some sort of coffee chocolate concoction, and I am not mad at that.

My grandmother was a nutritionist by trade, and a phenomenal cook — as grandmas are.

When she passed, I inherited all her cookbooks and hand-written recipes — her most prized possessions.

As I was going through the recipes — lost in memory lane — I came across one that I had forgotten about, but it immediately took me back 30 years.

It was my FAVORITE thing as a kid, and I thought Grandma was pretty much a wizard every single time she made it.

The recipe is for 1-Ingredient Caramel, and y’all, it’s so stinking easy.

There’s no mixing, stirring, thermometers, or standing by the stove involved.

All you need is one little ingredient and your favorite slow cooker.

Here’s What You Need For 1-Ingredient Caramel

1 Can of Sweetened Condensed Milk

It’s very important that you note that this is NOT Evaporated Milk.

Only Sweetened Condensed Milk will work.

How To Make 1-Ingredient Caramel

Get out your slow cooker, and put it on the kitchen counter.

Stick that can of Sweetened Condensed Milk right in the center of the slow cooker bowl.

Cover that can all the way up with water.

You will probably have to fill up the slow cooker just about all the way with water, but that is fine and completely normal.

If it’s easier to set the can of Sweetened Condensed Milk on its side, do that.

BUT, do NOT open the can.

Now, you just put the lid on the slow cooker.

You want to set the timer for 8 hours, and the temperature to low.

Side Note: I accidentally cooked mine for 8 hours on high. *GASP* It turned out fine, just a bit dark and thick.

Then just walk away and let it do its thing.

If your slow cooker tends to lose water, you may need to add some during the cooking. You don’t want the can of Sweetened Condensed Milk to become uncovered by the water.

The water will start boiling, and the label will probably fall off. But, that’s okay. Just let the slow cooker do what slow cookers do.

When the 8 hours are up, turn the crockpot off.

Take the can of Sweetened Condensed Milk carefully out of the slow cooker with a pair of tongs.

Let it cool completely, until you are able to comfortably hold the can in your hand without burning the beejoobees out of your hand.

Now, just pop the top off the can of Sweetened Condensed Milk.

Voila!!! Caramel.

OMG. Try not to eat it all in one sitting. It’s truly like sweet, thick, luxurious candy.

Now, you can put it in all the things.

It goes great on ice cream, in yogurt, as a dip for fruit, and I LOVE it in my coffee.

To store it, you want to transfer it to a clean container, and put it in the fridge.

It will stay good for about a week. But, it will probably be gone way before that. *Winky Emoji*

Try it, and let us know how much you LOVE it!!

I am a huge connoisseur of the creamy hot chocolate drink, but I’m definitely not a snob when it comes to what kind of hot chocolate I drink.

If you put a steaming cup of chocolatey drink in front of me, I’m gonna drink it — no questions asked.

I really don’t care if it’s a Unicorn Hot Cocoa Powder Drink from Swiss Miss or a Hot Chocolate Bomb that turns your milk into a delicious chocolatey concoction.

I love any number of Homemade Hot Chocolate Drinks, especially this Peppermint Variety, and — OMG!! — this Crockpot Hot Chocolate (if you haven’t made it before, make this the year you try it)!!

But, there are some REALLY good ready-to-buy powders that make an excellent drink of Hot Cocoa, and we are here to tell you about them!!

So, without further ado, I bring you — 7 Hot Chocolate Mixes You Should Immediately Go Try!!

Starbucks Hot Chocolate — Not only can you go into the store to get them to make you a delicious Holiday Masterpiece that is Hot Chocolate With Whipped Cream, you can go right to Walmart website to get the Starbucks powder to make your Cocoa at home!!

Not only do they have the Classic Hot Chocolate flavor, but they have Peppermint and Double Chocolate flavors as well!!

Stephen’s Gourmet Milk Chocolate Hot Cocoa — Look no further than the Walmart website to bring you delicious Chocolatey Cocoa drink mixes!! This is one of my FAVORITE milk chocolate Hot Chocolates.

Ghirardelli Hot Chocolate — Just the name Ghirardelli evokes tastes, smells, and visions of the perfect chocolate. Now, you can get that delicious Ghirardelli Chocolate in a Double Chocolate flavor from the Target website.

Williams Sonoma Classic Hot Chocolate — Williams Sonoma is one of my all time favorite kitchen stores, and they make a mighty fine Hot Chocolate as well!! Just go to the Williams Sonoma website to get your own.

They have several flavors that are simply drool worthy: Classic, Peppermint, Hazelnut, Salted Caramel.

World Market Hot Chocolate — I’m not going to lie. I love going into World Market anytime of the year, but ESPECIALLY at Christmas time!! They have so many kinds of Hot Chocolates, and each one of them is as tasty as the next!

Some of the MUST TRY varieties are the Bourbon Pecan Hot Cocoa Mix, the Cookie Butter Hot Cocoa Mix, and the Moonstruck Mint Chocolate Milk Hot Cocoa Mix.

That’s why this WHOLE CHICKEN recipe is so freaking amazing, and easy as could be!! It is inspired by Katie Seelye — my brand new favorite obsession who films the Quarantine Kitchen from her home, and uploads the recipes to Facebook.

Not only do you get yummy chicken on Day One, you can have pot pie Day Two, and even a small chicken pasta salad Day Three thrown in for fun.

All that from ONE 5-ingredient Roast Whole Chicken recipe, and it’s SO FREAKING EASY to make!

What you need:

• Whole chicken that will fit in your slow cooker, inside goodies removed.
• Bag of peeled carrots. You can even use baby carrots here — I’m not gonna judge.
• One onion. Use what you have on hand, red or sweet yellow will do nicely.
• Washed potatoes, about 4 big ones. I don’t care if they are red, russet, or yellow! Just potatoes will do.
• 1 Stick of Butter
• Seasoning — TOTALLY Optional. But, I like to use garlic, salt, more garlic, italian seasoning, seasoning salt, paprika, maybe a bit of cayenne, or whatever else your little heart might desire.

Here’ what you do:

Wash the veggies right before you cut them.

Cut all the veggies into chunks. Like, not small enough where they will dissolve in the juices, but maybe a bit bigger than a bite. Just chunks. Use your best ninja cooking skills to decide what’s best. I believe in you.

Throw those veggies in the bottom of your slow cooker.

Put the Chicky on top. Fold those wings under (I HATE that part). — Make sure you have removed any inner goodies that may have been put there by the manufacturer.

Get out that stick of butter — it should be slightly warmer than room temperature. Use your fingers, and massage it into that chicken. Don’t forget it’s legs and its breasts. Work It!

Now you stick your crockpot lid on. Set it to High for FIVE hours, or LOW for up to EIGHT hours.

Sit back and relax. Watch some Netflix. Maybe read a book. Breathe in the aroma of Roasting Chicken as it cooks.

A short while later — DINNER!! That bird should fall of the dang bone!

Eat some of the chicken and veggies, but save some for more great recipes. Or, you can eat it all. I don’t really care. I’m not here to judge your eating hobbies.

Butternut Squash always reminds me of my grandma’s house. Every year on her farm when I was a kid she would have all sorts of gourds and squash everywhere.

She used to always make Butternut Squash soup. Actually she used to make Butternut everything because she made so much she was trying to get rid of!

This is one of those recipes you will make again and again because it is SO SIMPLE. Plus it tastes out of this world. I love the roasted butternut flavor!

• 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice (I used Watkins Pumpkin Spice blend (cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice) and got it at Walmart)
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 tbs brown sugar
• dried cranberries for garnish

How to Make Butternut Squash Soup

• Cut squash in half lengthwise and use a metal spoon to scoop out the seeds and insides.

• Remove pot from heat and add cream, pumpkin pie spice, salt and brown sugar.

• Use an immersion blender to puree the soup. You can also transfer the soup to a blender to puree.

If you’re looking for a fun variation on this recipe, you should TOTALLY check-out Shockingly Delicious’ recipe for Slow Cooker Black-Eyed Pea Taco Soup–it sounds so fantastic, I might make that this weekend instead of my normal Crockpot Taco Soup!

I am all about cooking with my crock pot. I like things for cook slow and over time, because it makes them so flavorful, I am so not a pressure cooker kind of gal.

What You Need To Make Slow Cooker Taco Soup Crockpot Dinner

• 1 lb. ground beef, Cooked (or ground turkey if that’s more your thing)
• 1 Large Onion, Chopped (Sometimes I cook this along with the beef, and sometimes I leave it out, it just depends on what kind of mood you’re in, really.)
• 1 Can Pinto Beans (You can substitute black beans here instead if you just really love them.)
• 1 Can Kidney Beans
• 1 Can of Corn (But you can totally leave this out if you hate corn. I am so not a corn lover, but everyone else in my family loves it, so I always leave it in. I also feel this way about black olives, and that’s why I never add them to my taco soup.)
• 1 Can Ro-Tel (Really any spicy diced tomatoes and diced green chile combo will do, but I always just use Ro-Tel tomatoes green chile, because that is what my mom used to use.)
• 1 Can Diced Tomatoes. (I usually get a big ‘ol can for this if I am having lots of people, or I just use a smaller can if it’s only the fam.)
• 1 Packet Taco Seasoning Mix
• 1 Pack Ranch Dressing Mix. (This is the secret ingredient that gives the soup it’s special zing! Don’t leave this out unless you want blah soup.)
• 1 1/2 Cups Water

How To Make Slow Cooker Taco Soup with Rotel

• In a large skillet, brown your meat. (This is the part where you can add in the onions or not. I like to, just because I love the smell of ground beef and onions cooking.)
• Open all the cans and dump everything into your crock pot. Juice and all.
• Let it sit on high for an hour or two then turn it down to low and you have the best darn crock pot taco soup you’ve ever eaten!

I usually serve mine with tortilla chips, but my husband swears by corn chips, so it’s kind of your choice there. He also loves to add just a dollop of cream cheese to his bowl to make it just a little creamier.
