A crockpot makes life easier. It is a low maintenance way to cook. You can throw all your ingredients in the crock pot and have a delicious meal in a few hours. We all need a stress free way to get a morning started. There are two options. The first is to prepare all the ingredients that morning. The second option is to combine everything the night before and keep it in the refrigerator until morning. Then set your crock pot and in a few hours you will have a delicious breakfast. This is an ideal meal when you are entertaining and want to have time with your guests. This is also great Christmas morning. When you are done opening gifts, breakfast will be ready.
