Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Slow Cooker

Ingredients

  • 12 refrigerated crescent roll sheets
  • 1/2 pound ground sausage
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1 cup shredded cheese
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • pinch ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Brown sausage in skillet over medium-high heat until fully cooked, drain any grease
  • Spray slow cooker insert with non-stick spray
  • Unroll crescent rolls into a sheet and lay in bottom of slow cooker, pressing seams together
  • Whisk together egg, milk, salt and pepper
  • Pour over rolls
  • Top with cooked sausage
  • Top with cheese
  • Cover and cook on high for 2-3 hours or low for 4-6

Notes

  • Prep ahead by browning sausage and storing in the fridge until ready to assemble the casserole.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days in a sealed container. To freeze leftovers, wrap tightly or seal individual servings in a container. Freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Reheat individual servings in the microwave for 30-60 second increments or in the oven until just warmed through.
  • I made this in my casserole-sized slow cooker on high for 2.5 hours. In my 6-quart oval slow cooker, it took slightly longer at about 3 hours.
