2 lbs hash brown potatoes
1/2 cup diced bell peppers
1/2 cup diced onions

1/4 tsp dry mustard
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
Optional add-ins:cooked bacon or sausage, green chilis, jalapenos, sundried tomatoes, pickled veggies, olives, or roasted bell peppers. Note: If you add uncooked bacon or sausage, the fat will rise to the top, so cook first.

Beat eggs in a large bowl. Add milk, garlic powder, mustard, salt, and pepper. Whisk to combine. Set aside.
In your slow cooker, layer ingredients in this order:
1/3 of the hash browns (season with salt and pepper)

1/3 of any optional add-ins
1 cup of cheese
Repeat layering twice more, ending with cheese.
Pour egg mixture over the layers.
Cook on low:
Fresh/refrigerated hash browns: 6-7 hours
Frozen hash browns: 7-8 hours, or until eggs are set
Notes
Tip: For crispy hash browns, bake them before adding to the slow cooker.
