Slow Cooker Breakfast
Who is hosting visitors this holiday season!? I am, and I LOVE having visitors but I always feel a little stressed when it comes to feeding people three meals a day. What it comes down to is that I just don’t love doing tons of dishes, and when you cook for groups the dishes can get crazy. That’s why I always try to use my slow cooker as much as possible when I have company. It keeps the mess at a minimum and I can let the slow cooker do the work of making meals while I spend time with my guests!
I find overnight crockpot breakfasts to be ideal. The food is basically ready when everyone wakes up!
The week before Thanksgiving we had some visitors so I made some super easy slow cooker breakfast burritos (they cook overnight) and they were really a crowd-pleaser. It was a cheap way to feed a crowd, too. I so highly recommend this!

Really quick, let’s talk slow cookers.
I was sent a Black & Decker slow cooker to try and it’s amazing. It’s CHALKBOARD on the outside. But they have some other really cute options too. It works great and I love how easy slow cookers make my life so really, I recommend you get one too.
Here are a few of the other cute options on Amazon!

Notes
Nutrition
Maybe you just found your new favorite slow cooker breakfast recipes to make!
Made this for school and nothing was left. Very good and lots asked for recipe.
I’m so glad to hear that!
If you cut the recipe in half, is it the same amount of time?
I’m not sure! You could probably do it for less time, but I’d check it often and just turn off the slow cooker when everything is cooked through!
This turned out well and is relatively inexpensive! I was looking for a simple, economical, yummy breakfast burrito recipe in a crockpot so I could bring it for volunteers at an event — something to keep in the volunteer room for the morning. I’ll have other vegan and gluten-free options at the event too — but I wanted something hearty & warm for those without food restrictions. One practice run at home, and the family gave it a thumbs up. I used 1.5# of sausage rather than the 2#, and that was fine. I’ll be doubling the recipe for the event and providing regular & GF tortillas.
My crockpot is very hot on LOW, so it was done by about 4 hrs (cooked from about 10 pm to 2 am), so I switched it to warm until breakfast time and it was well-received.
This is now my favorite go-to breakfast recipe when I have guests overnight. It’s very quick to put together, everyone loves it, and if there are leftovers, I can freeze the burritos to have later when it’s just my husband and myself again. Double winner!
I’m so glad to hear that. We love it for feeding a crowd!
If frozen, how would you reheat?
I thaw them in the fridge overnight, and pop them in the microwave for a few minutes until they are hot all the way through! You can also thaw them in the microwave while you heat. Either way they are delicious!
Can you double the recipe? Thanks cant wait to try them
Yes, I think you can double this! I’ve never tried it all in one slow cooker. It might get really full, but it should work.
Looks great! CAN you freeze the burritos?
Yeah, you totally can! Just let them fully cool, then wrap them up tight with a couple layers of cling wrap. They should stay good in the freezer for a month or two!
AbouT how many servings does this make? So excited to try!
