Important Recipe Notes

  • Spray the slow cooker well with nonstick cooking spray so the casserole releases easily.
  • Don’t worry if the egg mixture doesn’t completely cover the layers. The eggs expand while cooking and hold everything together.
  • Whisk the eggs until the whites are fully blended for the best texture.
  • You can swap the meats or vegetables with your family’s favorites, but keep the overall amount about the same so the casserole stays nice and filling.
  • Heavy cream can be used instead of whole milk for a richer casserole.
  • Taste and adjust the salt and pepper before serving if needed.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Freezing is possible for up to 3 months, although the texture may change slightly after reheating.
