- Cook. Cover and cook on Low for 7–8 hours or High for about 4 hours, until the center is set and a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean. Every slow cooker heats a little differently. Mine is usually done on Low in about 4 hours, so start checking around then.
Notes
- Try making this recipe during the day the first time to gauge your slow cooker’s timing. Mine cooks in about 4 hours, but some take up to 8. Then, you’ll know how to adjust for overnight.
- Many sausage brands are seasoned well enough that you don’t need to add anything else, but you can always include your favorite herbs and spices if you’d like.
- This recipe is great for meal prepping. Just reheat portions throughout the week for a quick and easy breakfast.
- Swap or add ingredients based on what your family likes best.
