What Size Crockpot?
Before you start make sure you have the right size slow cooker for the job. This is a good sized recipe that will feed a crowd, or create some delicious leftovers! I highly recommend at least a 6-quart Crockpot. If you don’t have one that size you can find them on Amazon. I
They now have crockpots with built-in timers to adjust the temperature like this one (see it now). I totally recommend one of these for overnight recipes to prevent overcooking.
You can also half this recipe very easily and make it in a 4 Quart Crockpot with no problems.
TIP: Use a slow cooker liner to make cleanup easier!
Reheating leftovers
If you have leftovers you want to store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days depending on the freshness of your ingredients. Just pop a plate of casserole in the microwave and heat it at 1-minute intervals at 60% power until it is at the desired heat.
This is also amazing reheated in a toaster oven at about 350 degrees for 10 minutes.
Serving Suggestions
This is delicious on its own but also great with
- sour cream
- salsa
- colby jack cheese
- green chilies
- avocado
- etc
You can also switch out the sausage for diced ham if you prefer it.

Where do you put the sausage? I assume in the layers but it isn’t mentioned in the directions.
I’ve made this yummy recipe in a crockpot. I have about 60 to feed for an event. Looking a options and wondering if you have tried a roaster or a good old fashioned oven for this recipe.
