Ham, Gouda and Potato Bake (for the crock pot!)

22

Ham, Gouda and Potato Bake (for the crock pot!)

I love having a big, family breakfast on the weekends.

With our schedules, we barely see each other on weekday mornings, let alone have the opportunity to sit down and eat breakfast together. So when the weekend rolls around, I’m ready for a laid-back morning around the table.

Enter: karate lessons. I’m finding out just how time-consuming these can be.  We’re at the dojo three to four nights a week and on Saturday mornings.  So much for my laid-back mornings!

But I solved my problem with the same kitchen appliance I use on busy weeknights: my crock pot.

I’ve typically only used this method for breakfasts on holidays or on weekends when we’re entertaining overnight guests.  But it also works fabulous for feeding a hungry kiddo on the go.  Or a hungry hubby.  Or, just me.

🙂

We loved this breakfast because it’s completely customizable.  Don’t like red peppers?  Leave ’em out, or substitute green peppers instead.  Prefer sausage over ham?  Easy-peasy: just brown up some sausage and throw that in instead.  If you’re not a Gouda fan, just add in your cheese of choice!

I served ours over a toasted English muffin half, because that’s what I had in my breadbasket last weekend.  However, these would be absolutely awesome rolled up in a tortilla with a bit of salsa–and even easier for eating on the go.

What’s your favorite quick weekend breakfast?

Method

    There really is nothing better than throwing things in a crock pot, going to bed and breakfast is waiting for you when you wake up! It’s like having you own personal chef. The inventor of the crock pot is a genius! This recipe is great!!

    I love my slow cooker and it’s definitely my life saver when it comes to busy schedules. This gorgeous looking Ham, Gouda and Potato Bake is from the crock pot??? Wow, I can’t wait to give this a try. I love ham and gouda cheese. I know my family would love this for sure.

    This sounds tasty Ashley! Love that you used the crock pot – nice! My favorite quick weekend breakfast would have to be cereal. I don’t eat it during the week so when the weekend comes I love to eat it (the sugary kind, of course!). If I have time I like to make an overnight oatmeal bake or Cinnamon Buns 🙂

    Yep, for sure making this too. Working at a cheese shop every day is TORTURE because I get to sample all the cheese.. and sample up a couple bigger sizes in pants subsequently. *sigh* Gouda is actually one of my favorite cheeses.. so smokey and nutty and totally delicious. I love that this is A) a crockpot meal — totally genius; B) stuffed with potatoes and cheese–YUM; and C) can be served on English muffins or in tortillas. SO perfect, Ashley!

    I don’t understand the timing on this. I can’t cook it overnight cause I sleep for 9 hours and don’t want to have to wake up two hours into my sleep to turn the crock pot on. Yet if I make it when I wake up it’s not ready till afternoon. Am I missing something here?

    I’m a single person & since this makes so much, can it be frozen after cooking? Thanks.

    I want to try this but I’m out of Gouda. Can I use a different cheese or wait until I go to the store next week?

      Sure, any cheese will work.
