Let’s cook up this hearty breakfast burrito casserole:

1. Prepare Oven (Just Kidding, It’s a Slow Cooker!) and Cook Sausage:

• Grease the insert of your 4- or 5-quart slow cooker with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
• In a large skillet, cook the bulk pork sausage over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, breaking it into small crumbles with a spoon or spatula as it browns.
• Continue cooking until the sausage is fully browned and no longer pink. Drain off any excess grease from the skillet. Set the cooked sausage aside.

2. Layer Ingredients in Slow Cooker:

• Spread the thawed frozen O’Brien potatoes evenly over the bottom of the greased slow cooker insert.
• Distribute the cooked, crumbled sausage evenly over the layer of potatoes.
• Sprinkle the 2 cups of shredded sharp cheddar cheese over the sausage.

3. Prepare and Add Egg Mixture:

• In a large mixing bowl, whisk the large eggs until the yolks and whites are well combined.
• Whisk in the milk, seasoned salt, and pepper until everything is blended.
• Pour this egg mixture evenly over the cheese, sausage, and potato layers in the slow cooker.

4. Cook the Casserole:

• Cover the slow cooker securely with the lid.
• Cook on the LOW heat setting for 3 hours and 45 minutes to 4 hours and 15 minutes (3 3/4 – 4 1/4 hours).
• The casserole is done when the eggs are set and a food thermometer inserted into the center reads 160°F.

5. Rest and Prepare for Serving:

• Once cooked, turn off the slow cooker. Uncover it and let the casserole stand for about 10 minutes. This helps it firm up slightly and makes serving easier.
• While the casserole rests, warm your flour tortillas.

6. Assemble Burritos and Serve:

• Spoon a generous portion of the hot breakfast casserole mixture down the center of each warmed flour tortilla.
• Offer optional toppings like salsa, sliced jalapeños, chopped tomatoes, sliced green onions, and cubed avocado for everyone to customize their burritos.
• Roll up the tortillas burrito-style and serve immediately.
