Christmas Morning Slow Cooker Egg Bake
Early Christmas morning, we’ll be lured out of bed with the promise of Santa’s loot and the aroma of egg bake wafting from the slow cooker. With fuzzy jammies, bed head, love, laughter and a good measure of gratitude … we will celebrate. I wish the very same for you and yours – big hugs to you this Christmas.

I love meals that come together quickly. So loaded potatoes are a go-to. No fancy ingredients, no planning ahead, no huge pile of dishes after. Use a big enough potato and it’s a meal; use a smaller potato and it’s a perfect side dish!
