Steps to Make It

1. Start by greasing your crockpot with a little cooking spray. This helps prevent sticking and makes cleanup easier. You want it to be nice and slick!
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. The mixture should be frothy and light, which means it's ready for the next step.
3. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, diced bell peppers, and cooked ham. The colors should pop, and the cheese should start melting into the mixture.
4. Add salt and black pepper to taste. Give it a good stir to ensure everything is evenly seasoned. It should smell delicious already!
5. Gently fold in the cooked hash browns. This adds a nice texture and heartiness to your dish. Make sure they're well distributed throughout the mixture.
6. Pour the mixture into the greased crockpot. Spread it evenly so it cooks uniformly. You’ll love the sight of it all coming together!
7. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours. When you wake up, the aroma will greet you like a warm hug. It’s done when the eggs are set and the top is slightly golden.
8. Serve warm with your favorite toppings like salsa, avocado, or fresh herbs. Enjoy the smiles around the table!
