Ingredients

1 pound diced ham
32 ounces frozen tater tots divided
12 ounces frozen bell peppers and onion mix
½ cup milk
½ cup cream or half and half
6 eggs
1 cup grated Cheddar cheese divided
1 cup grated Pepper Jack cheese divided
green onions sliced for garnish

Instructions

Spray the slow cooker with non-stick spray.
Mix the two cheeses together in a bowl.
Pour half of the tater tots into the bottom of the prepared slow cooker.
Add the ham on top.
Sprinkle with the bell pepper mix.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cream, and half the cheese mixture.
Pour the egg mixture over the tater tots, ham, and peppers layer.
Top with the remaining tater tots.
Cover and cook on low for 4 hours.
15 minutes before serving top with the rest of the cheese and put the cover back on.
Sprinkle with green onions and serve.

Notes

Storage:

Once cooled, refrigerate the extras in an airtight container or a casserole dish covered tightly in plastic wrap for up to three days or freeze for up to three months.

Tips:

You don’t need to thaw the frozen tater tots or veggies before adding them to the crock pot—just toss 'em in straight out of the freezer.
Grease the inside of your crock pot with cooking spray or olive oil to prevent your casserole from sticking to the bottom of the slow cooker.
To reduce the cooking time on busy mornings, you can cook this on high for about two hours.
