  • omg!! why would it cook that long??? i woke up in the middle of the night and could smell how yummy it was...yet it was burnt on the sides and bottom after 5 hrs...put it in the oven for a few hrs on warm to try to save it since noone would be up for a few hours..dried it out and made the eggs brown and the burn taste all the way through...ended up going to I hop to eat...was a good recipe if i had done it in the oven.

  • Believe YOU should amend basic recipe based on results from comments: less cooking time & reduce amt. of potatoes.

  • I used a med sized oval crock. I also used FRESH potatoes that my son-in-law cubed for me. Awesome meal with some biscuits or coffee cake. YUMMY!!!
    Ps= To be safe...I put a cookie sheet under crock for any over-flow. Good thing I did.

  • I used my small round one. I don't think it would make a difference round or oval, but the size of the container might. Just my opinion.

  • does this work better in an oval or round crockpot

  • I cooked this 2 weekends ago for guests coming to town. I found it to be too much potatoes, and I only cooked it for 6.5 hours. I also rolled them up as burritos. Everyone loved them, only I feel more cheese and less potatoes would have been better. I also used the potatoes that had the onion and peppers already in them. Overall, I will make it again, just using less potatoes and more cheese, and less time cooking.

  • Followed the recipe exactly but cooked for only 9 hours not 10-12 as instructed. It was very DRY and BURNT on the bottom. Listen to the posting dated 12-3-0 about cooking times. Wish I did. Next time I will try and cook for only 4-5 hours MAX. We had it with flour tortillas. Other than that it was pretty simple and good.

  • I like to use the hash browns that already have the onions and bell peppers mixed in (potatoes o'brien). This saves me one step in preparation. I hate to chop onions.

  • I used sasuage instead of bacon, I only used about 24 oz of the potatoes and only cooked the casserole about 4 hours. The taste was good but it was a little dry.

  • This is a very good recipe.Using flour tortillas is a great idea. The kids loved it.

  • I have a small crock pot. Do you have this recipe for 1-2 people?

  • I love this recipe..perfect to put together the night before, and wake up to breakfast. We usually wrap it up in tortillas for breakfast burritos..
    I use packages of pre-cooked bacon & sausage, and skip the onions & peppers. also used diced, not shredded potatoes...I've cooked it for as long as 14 hours, and didn't dry out

  • sorry, that was it does NOT need to cook for 10 to 12 hours

  • I prepared this dish over the weekend. While i thought the meal was ok, good concept, i found that using a full bag of the hashbrown potatoes made it a little dry. Aslo, it does need to cook for 10 to 12 hours on low as stated.... could be why i found it to be dry. i only had the dish cooking on low for 7 hours. i will try it again and cook it for maybe just 4 hours on low.

  • This recipe definitely sounds so good, I am going to try it the next time I go to buy groceries. Have you ever tried using ground sausage instead of bacon or ham? That too sounds good.

  • The cheese does stay in the middle and it serves 8 to 10 people.

    Flag as inappropriate pekingese  |  23rd October 2007

  • How many people does it serve?

    Flag as inappropriate nmch67  |  20th October 2007

  • Does the cheese stay in the middle and not on top?
