Crock Pot Breakfast Casserole


32 ounces frozen hash brown potatoes (1 bag)
1 lb bacon, sausage or ham cooked, crumbled or diced
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
2 green onions sliced
1 small white onion finely diced, or 1/2 cup 
12 eggs
1 cup milk

1 tsp salt
1 tsp garlic powder

1. If using bacon or sausage, cook and crumble. Drain fat leaving 1 tablespoon in the pan.
2. If desired, soften the onion in the fat. This is optional but will soften the flavor of the onion

4. Whisk eggs, milk and seasonings in a medium bowl. Pour the egg mixture over the ingredients in the slow cooker.
