OVERNIGHT BACON AND SWISS BREAKFAST

Overnight Bacon and Swiss Breakfast image

When we have overnight guests, I like to prepare things ahead of time so we can enjoy our company. It often gets crazy when everyone first wakes up, and I like to have food available whenever people are ready to eat. I devised this slow-cooker breakfast recipe when I was feeding 22 people breakfast at a destination wedding! —Donna Gribbins, Shelbyville, Kentucky
