Made this in a 5-quart crock...could only do one layer of each ingredient. Luckily, I had read the comments beforehand & only cooked it for 5 hours. Still came out very dry, burnt edges. Too bad, because I think it wouldâve been really good if not so dry & with tough edges. Still edible, but not very enjoyable. Also, if I make again, I would mix everything together instead of doing layers. Hope this helps.
Unfortunately not all crock pots cook the same so you often have to adjust cooking times based on your brand/model. We've found that most of the newer models cook too "hot" and also don't have properly fitting lids so often the much needed steam leaks out causing dry food.
Can this be baked in the oven? Prepared the night before and refrigerated? Sounds good for Atkins. Do not own a crockpot.
It could be baked in the oven but we haven't tested this particular recipe that way. I'd suggest looking at some of our other overnight breakfast casserole recipes and looking at their directions and cook time to modify this recipe to suit your needs.
Has anyone measured what a serving size is based on it making 12 servings? I am going to be counting carbs and would like a general idea how large a serving is before I make it
You can change the serving size to "1" to get an idea of how much of each ingredient there would be for a single serving.

I loved this recipe but I did make a couple of modifications. In my crockpot, I cooked it on low for 4 hours and it was cooked completely and still moist. I also added 3 teaspoons of chili powder, 2 teaspoons of garlic powder, and a couple dashes of salt and powder to the eggs before I poured them into the crockpot.

Very good recipe. I didn't cook it overnight though because I was scared that it would dry out. I made it for a late brunch and it was done in about 5 hours (we weren't on a schedule so that worked out fine). Wonderful flavor.

I did double it and made it for my office in my large oval crock pot. 7 hours was more than enough time because I though it was a bit dry at 7 1/2 hours. Next time I'll saute the onions until they're translucent before adding them to the mix. Taste was good, but you'll need the salsa and sour cream
Has anyone tried to double a recipe like this? Any idea how much it would increase the cook time?

I used the low seting for the shortest time (8 hours) but this burned to a solid brown crisp. May not be meant for a large crock pot.
