    ❔ FAQs

    Can you keep breakfast burritos warm in a crock pot?

    Absolutely! If you're serving a fancy brunch or breakfast or want to allow people to serve themselves, leave the crock pot on its warmest setting to keep the burrito filling warm.

    How do you make breakfast burritos not soggy?

    If your filling is runny, it could mean you've added too much milk to the eggs, or it may just need more time to cook. Try to avoid excess moisture from other ingredients--for example, drain the sausage after cooking and before adding to the crock pot.

    What goes well with breakfast burritos?

    Pair your burritos with fresh fruit or your favorite smoothie, a glass of juice, or even more potatoes! For brunch, you can also pair them with chips and salsa or guacamole.

    💭 Expert Tips and Tricks

    • To fold slow cooker breakfast burritos so they stay sealed, there's a simple trick. Fold one end of the tortilla over the filling, then tuck in the sides before you start to roll it. Keep the sides tucked and folded in as you go, and you'll end up with a perfectly sealed burrito that won't fall apart in your hands!
    • These make-ahead burritos are great to prepare right before you go to bed. You'll wake up to a delicious aroma and slow cooker burritos completely ready to serve!

    📌 Crock pot burritos are a fantastic option for your next special occasion breakfast or brunch, or any time you want something a little different for breakfast. Completely customizable and always delicious!

    💡 Substitutions and Variations

    • Switch up the ingredients for your burrito filling! Use cooked bacon or ham instead of sausage, mozzarella or gruyere cheese instead of cheddar, or whatever your favorite breakfast options might be!
    • You can also add additional seasonings to the egg mixture to pack your burritos with extra flavor. Paprika, garlic powder, and red peppers flakes are some of my favorites.
    • For a little bit of extra zing, drizzle hot sauce over your tortilla before adding the filling and rolling.

    ⏲️ Make Ahead Instructions

    These burritos are excellent to make ahead and freeze so you can quickly reheat for breakfast throughout the week. Roll each tortilla, wrap in parchment paper, and store in a sealable plastic bag in the freezer

    🥫 Reheating

    To reheat your slow cooker breakfast burritos from frozen, allow to thaw in the fridge overnight. The best way to reheat is to pop a burrito the oven at 350 degrees F for about 20 minutes, but you can also use your air fryer or microwave for even faster reheating.

    🍴 What To Serve With This Dish

    If you're on the go, pair your crock pot breakfast burritos with an energizing Kiwi Banana Matcha Smoothie or a couple of these No-Bake Peanut Butter Oatmeal Balls! For a sit-down setting, serve your breakfast burritos with Berry Salad or a tasty Strawberry Smoothie Bowl.

    Prevent your screen from going dark

    Instructions
     

    • In a large skillet, brown the sausage, crumbling as it cooks. Drain well.
      1 pound bulk sausage
    • Spray the inside of a slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray. In the bottom of the slow cooker, place the hash browns. Top with the sausage and cheese.
      32 ounces frozen hash browns with peppers and onions, thawed, 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
    • Whisk together the eggs, milk, seasoning salt, and black pepper (if desired) until well blended. Pour over the casserole in the slow cooker.
      12 eggs, ½ cup milk, ½ teaspoon seasoning salt, black pepper
    • Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or high for 2 to 3 hours. Check the contents for doneness by inserting a knife in the middle. If the knife returns with liquid egg, cover and continue cooking until the eggs are completely set.
    • Spoon the egg casserole onto the flour tortillas, dividing it evenly into 8 portions.
      8 burrito-size flour tortillas
    • Fold the sides of each tortilla and then roll it up. Serve immediately or freeze/

    Notes

    • These can be made ahead of time and frozen. After rolling each tortilla, wrap them individually in parchment paper. Place the burritos in a gallon-size freezer bag and freeze.
    • To reheat, thaw the burritos in the refrigerator overnight. Reheat in the oven at 350 degrees F until warmed through, about 20 minutes. Burritos can also be placed in the air fryer or microwave.
    • Add a dash of hot sauce right before you roll up the tortillas to add some zing to your breakfast.
    • Experiment with different meats, cheeses, or seasonings for flavorful variations. Some examples: You can use cooked bacon or ham for your meats, mozzarella or gruyere for your cheese, or garlic powder or paprika as seasonings. There are so many variations!

      This is a perfect breakfast idea for my 12 year old. She's always running out the door with either nothing or a pop tart. I definitely need to make these for her next week!
