The crockpot is once again our new best friend since we are back to school mode. One of my favorite blogs from a woman who cooked all her meals in crockpots for 365 days...so lots of ideas. To break in the crockpot for the upcoming fall season, we started with a breakfast. I did all the prep the night before to cook overnight. The plan was to wake up to an already made breakfast.

Ingredients:
red potatoes (however many you will eat plus whoever else will be eating breakfast)
1 medium yellow onion
package of breakfast sausage (I used some local turkey sausages)
2 tbsp. olive oil
seasonings- salt, pepper, Tanja's Louisiana seasonings...

Wash and cut the potatoes into wedges (you can peel them if you want, but I didn't because Ben likes the skin). Slice the onion up. Toss in the crockpot with the olive oil and seasonings and mix until everything is coated. Top with the sausages.
Turn the crockpot to low heat for 6-8 hours, and when you wake up you will have a tasty breakfast.

However, our power tripped, so when we woke up, it was still cold. Sad. I turned it on high for 1 1/2 hours, and it cooked up real fast (our crockpot cooks fast). Served it up with some ketchup, and we were happy.
We've enjoyed the leftovers in egg/potato breakfast burritos this week.
