While we love breakfast food and would gladly eat it for lunch and dinner, it can be such a pain to wake up on the weekend and go about making a hearty meal for the family. Why can’t it just be ready when we wake up?! Huzzah, folks, now it can!
We’ve sung the praises of slow cooker meals before (here, here and here), but we’re here now with a delicious breakfast scramble that takes basically no effort and results in a meal that’s fit for a king. Loaded with eggs (obviously), roasted potatoes and cheese, this is a simple, yet flavorful dish that we can’t get enough of. We love the taste and we know you’ll love the prep “work”!
