Ingredients

1 32-ounce bag frozen tater tots
2 cups cooked ham diced
1 cup bell pepper diced (any color)
2½ cups cheddar cheese freshly shredded, divided
10 large eggs
¾ cup whole milk
⅓ cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
¾ teaspoon salt or 1½ teaspoons kosher salt
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon black pepper
cooking spray

Garnish (optional)

parsley or green onions, chopped

Instructions

Layer the Crockpot

Spray a 6-quart slow cooker with cooking spray.
Whisk the eggs, milk, cream, mustard, salt, onion powder, garlic powder and pepper in a medium bowl.
Layer half of the frozen tater tots, ham and bell pepper in the slow cooker. Top with 1 cup of the cheddar.
Pour half of the egg mixture over the top.
Repeat with the remaining tater tots, ham, bell pepper and 1 cup of the cheddar. Pour the remaining egg mixture over the top.

Cook and Serve

Cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours or on high for 3 to 3½ hours. The casserole is done when the eggs are set in the center and a thermometer reads 165º Fahrenheit.
Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of cheddar over the top. Cover for 5 minutes, until melted.
Garnish with parsley or green onions and scoop onto plates.

Notes

SLOW COOKER TIMES

LOW - 6 to 7 hours.
HIGH - 3 to 3½ hours.
FROM THE FRIDGE - Add about 1 hour.

SWAP - No ham? Use 1 pound of cooked, crumbled bacon or breakfast sausage instead.

FOOD SAFETY

Cook until the center reaches 165º Fahrenheit. Start the slow cooker right after layering. Fully cook bacon or sausage first.
