Glacier Casserole–a ham, hashbrown, egg and cheese breakfast casserole made in the slow cooker or baked in the oven.
Glacier Casserole
This easy slow cooker breakfast bake has lots of flavor and is an easy dump and press start recipe. We love eating breakfast for dinner so this was a delicious fast Sunday dinner. Before I go to church I love throwing something in the slow cooker and then when I get home my dinner is ready and waiting. Remember that cooking times may vary depending on your slow cooker. If you’d like you can also bake this casserole in the oven. We served this with a fruit salad, green salad and some cornbread.
This recipe has been adapted from Glacier Breakfast Bake recipe in the Best of the Best from the Plains Cookbook Cookbook. I made my version in the slow cooker and instead of using Bisquick I used a homemade mix of flour, salt, baking powder and butter.
Ingredients/Substitution Ideas
- Ham cubes–you can also use cooked sausage crumbles
- Frozen hashbrown potatoes–shredded or cubes
- Mushrooms
- Diced green chiles
- Onion powder
- Garlic powder
- Kosher salt
- Black pepper
- Colby jack cheese–or cheddar cheese
- Milk–or evaporated milk

Add in the ham, hashbrowns, mushrooms, green chiles, onion powder, garlic powder, kosher salt, black pepper and 1 cup of the cheese.
Stir well.
In a bowl whisk together the milk, eggs, flour, baking powder and salt. Cut the butter in until mixture is crumbly.
Pour over the hashbrown mixture. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours.
Serve and enjoy topped with salsa or ketchup.
Notes/Tips
- Serve with fresh fruit like strawberries or orange slices. I like serving this as breakfast for dinner but this would make a great brunch recipe too.
- Instead of using the flour, baking powder, salt and butter you can use 1 cup of bisquick baking mix.
- Feel free to add in sauteed bell peppers or other vegetables you like.
- I used a 6 quart slow cooker made by Ninja.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container* in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- Other recipes you can make with hashbrowns are Glorified Hashbrowns and Instant Pot Cheesy Hamburger Hashbrown Soup.

I want to make this, doubling the recipe, using the slow cook option on my IP. What would you recommend for the cook time? Thank you!
I would use the highest slow cooker setting and cook for 3-4 hours.
Hi! If I want to use sausage instead of ham, should I cook the sausage beforehand?
yes you should 🙂
