Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

I have not made this yet but plan to for Fathers Day. Another crockpot recipe I have say to put a paper towel between the lid & the crock while cooking. This will absorb the excess moisture so the casserole will not be mushy. So I will probably do this. Don't like mushy breakfast casseroles. Will rate it after I make it.

Excellent!! TY. I used pre-browned tater tots and mine cooked in 3.5 hours on the lowest setting. I am going to work on scaling the recipe up because I have a larger crock pot-but I hope to freeze the leftovers for later use. I have gout, so will use bacon bits in moderation-so any 'extra' water content will go towards hydrating the bacon bits. Sounds like a match made in heaven::>

I was looking for a slow cooker hash brown recipe and realized my husband bought tater tots instead of shredded hash browns not realizing what I was cooking. I saw this and thought "breakfast saved!" Only change I made was to use sliced, cooked sausage and some chopped/fried bacon instead of the ham. Seems like a very flexible recipe so I'll probably experiment with other ingredient substitutions just to change things up. Oh, and I cooked it on low for 5 hours and it was good. Totally depends on your crock pot I've found.
I' m thinking this sounds easy and good. However, after reading comments of mushy or dissolved tater tots, I believe I will fully cook tater tots in oven before adding them to this recipe to be hot and ready for Xmas morning.

It was alright. I might make it again, because it was so easy. Not bad, just not fantastic.

6 hours on low in my crock pot and it was AMAZINGLY GOOD!! I don't recommend cooking it for as long as the directions say. Sounds like they had a really old slow cooker!

The flavor was good but the tater tots kinda dissolved (are they supposed to?). I don't know that this needs to cook so long. I only cooked it 8 hours and that was maybe even too cooked.

I made this in a counter roaster so it didn't have layers, turned out very quiche-like and delicious!! I cooked it at 200 degrees was perfect 5 hours later. Great ability to change up ingredients so this recipe is a definite keeper!

This recipe was ridiculously easy and turned out VERY good. I had to adjust a few things because I used a larger sized crock pot, but it came out perfectly. I also added some fresh tomatoes (just because they were in the house!) to each layer and that added some extra color and flavor.
