Great question! I love my crock-pot and have been thinking about doing the breakfast thing when school starts in the fall. I have two crock-pots, and was thinking about making both dinner and lunch everyday. I am not a morning person either. I have found that most dinner recipes can be prepared the night before (just put the ceramic in the fridge overnight and then put it in the electric part on your way out the door). But anyways, your question prompted me to to a search on crock-pot breakfast recipes, here is one I found that I am going to try out, although I will probably sub the frozen hash browns for real potatoes. I will also probably reduce the recipe by at least half, since I am cooking only for two. I really love breakfast burritos, and I think this recipe would be great to use for those. The recipe came from: http://www.momswhothink.com/crock-pot-recipes/crock-pot-b...
