•12 eggs
•1 cup 2% milk

3. Saute the five chopped vegetables in a large skillet for 5 minutes, or until slightly tender.

4. Spray your slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray.

5. Place one-third of the hashbrowns into the bottom of the slow cooker and season with salt and pepper.

6. Layer one-third of the vegetables and one-third of the cheese on top of the potatoes.

7. Repeat these steps until the ingredients are used up, ending with a layer of cheese on top.

8. In a large bowl, mix together eggs, milk, dill, salt and pepper.


9. Pour the liquid mixture over the top of the ingredients in the slow cooker.


10. Place a piece of paper towel beneath the lid of the slow cooker to absorb excess moisture as it cooks.



11. Cover the slow cooker, and cook on HIGH for 4 ½ hours or LOW for 8-10 hours.



12. After the time has elapsed, a thermometer inserted in the middle of the bake should read 160 degrees F.
