Do you need to bake tater tots or pray fry first?
Hello Brenda….no need to bake, just start the layers, and make your breakfast! Happy Crocking!
That just looks so delicious!
Do you have to use eggs? Would the recipe work without them?
Heather! That is the great thing about crock pot cooking! You can modify any recipe, but to tell you if it will work without eggs, I just don’t know, as I have never tried it without! Happy Crocking!
Do you think this would work without tater tots? I try to stick to a lower carb diet.
Kara, the only thing I would worry about with this recipe is the liquid! I would definitley modify this recipe if you eliminate the tator tots, as the tator tots most likely would absorb a lot of the liquid. I would not use as much milk, although I would still use some! Let us know how it turns out! Happy Crocking!
Does the bacon have to be cooked prior to crockpot or just slice uncooked and put in the pot?
Hello Jessica, Thanks for the question, since it is canadian bacon, and it is pre-cooked, you do not have to cook before layering in the crock pot. Happy Crocking!
I reallly want to make this with the items I have on hand. Was thinking of swapping out the frozen tots, with frozen sweet potato tots. Canadian bacon with real bacon bits. Subbing out the cheeses for a mexican cheese blend and the whole milk for 2%. I hate to alter people’s recipes without trying it the original way first, then modifying to our taste, just don’t have some of the exact items and would really like to try it out. Any reason you think those substitutions wouldn’t work? Thanks, Lisa!
I tried this recipe for an easy sleepover breakfast for eight 12 and 13 year old girls. They seemed to like it. I doubled the recipe for my oval, six quart cooker. I thought it turned out pretty dry although it’s possible I used too many tater tots (I single layered, but eyeballed it). Next time, I will add at least 6 more eggs and 1/2 milk and more cheese. That said, I will definitely try this again because it’s so simple and great to have it ready when you get up in the morning. Thanks for the recipe! Love your site!
Do most of your recipes serve 6?
(I’m not finding any “serves #” information anywhere.)
I’ve tried a version of this recipe for a teachers’ breakfast at my kids’ school — it was a BIG hit!!
I’m trying your’s next.
Thank you for sharing!

Is the 10-12 hours for real? Even on low my crockpot would probably burn at 10 hours.
Feedback?
Hello Barb! It is for real to crock for 10-12 hours, but as you know some crocks cook faster and even hotter than others. If you know for a fact that yours would burn at 10 hours, you should check it at 8-9 hours. The great thing about this recipe, is that you can put it on before you go to bed, and wake up to a great breakfast. Thanks for the question and Happy Crocking!
