This is my very loose recipe for something I make often:
Put in slow cooker:
frozen potatoes O'Brien, about 1/2 pkg.
extra veges if desired: onions, peppers, chopped spinach (must be broken up tiny if frozen), etc.
chopped cooked ham, bacon, turkey ham, or vegetarian protein crumbles
seasonings: chopped fresh basil and/or a sprinkle of pepper, or "Mexican-style" seasoning
Mix all that up.
Eggs for cohesiveness and protein: use 2 eggs or yolkless egg substitute equivalent mixed with an equal amount of milk, up to 4 or so eggs-- either cover everything or at least get the eggy stuff mixed in with the solid bits. Instead of milk, you can use sour cream. I have not tried soy milk. (If you skip the eggs it will be a melange but not like a casserole, and you may need to add liquid of another sort.)
extra milk or sour cream-- add a little of one or the other if needed so that everything is moist but not soupy
sprinkle cheese over the top-- type and amount of cheese determined by what will go best with the seasoning you used and your dietary needs/wants
If possible, set for 4 hours cooking and the rest of the night on warm... if you don't have that type of settings on your cooker, put on high for at least an hour (like during supper until you go to sleep) then turn down to warm when you go to bed. Wake up to a carb-and-protein-rich breakfast with vegetables too!
