This dish was made for weekend breakfasts and brunch. It is prepared in the slow cooker, which means you can put it together the night before, let it cook while you sleep, and wake up to a savory, satisfying breakfast that requires minimal effort in the morning. Hash browns are layered with an herbed onion, garlic, and mushroom mixture and cheese and covered with a seasoned egg mixture. Cremini mushrooms are available in most grocery stores, but if you can’t find them, use whatever mushroom variety that you like. Pair this casserole with fresh fruit—you can buy the precut container in the produce department—for a breakfast that is worth waking up for.
