I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season! We stayed home this year since Christmas was right in the middle of the week and had a very nice and pretty quiet day. I got up before the kids so I could get this Slow Cooker Denver Omelette Casserole started for brunch. Then the we sat back and watched the kids open their gifts while we had some coffee.
MY LATEST VIDEOSOnce the chaos of opening gifts was over and we had all the mess picked up we turned to cleaning up in the kitchen and getting ready to eat. I had hubby take a bite of the casserole to see if it was done. He is the first official taste tester for Slow Cooker Gourmet and I am happy to report that he more than approves! In fact his mom was running late and he was a little bummed that we would have to wait a few more minutes before we could eat!
I have to admit that although I only made this because it’s something I thought my husband would like (one of his favorite breakfasts if we go out is a Denver omelette) I actually really enjoyed it too! It only took me a few minutes to put this in the crockpot and it was done cooking in 3 hours. I’m planning to make this again when we have a breakfast for dinner kind of night!

I don’t see whether to cook on high, low, or medium.
Can you double it?
I’m honestly not sure how well it would work if you double. It might be too thick to cook through evenly? Maybe if you used a casserole style slow cooker?
Cleaning the crockpot after this near tasteless dish is not worth the fuss of making it. Buy a ring and place it in an iron skillet filling it with hashbrowns, eggs over easy on low heat in another small iron skillet makes a much better meal and a lot more sense!
Hi Roger, thanks for the comment. If Denver omelets with the peppers, onions, and ham aren’t your taste than certainly some hash browns and eggs make another kind of great breakfast! Happy cooking 🙂
This omelet looks great! What size crockpot do you use?
Thanks! I used a 6 quart oval crock.
This looks yummy!!!
Thanks! Be sure to let me know how it turns out if you make it 🙂
