Slow Cooker Overnight Pumpkin French Toast Casserole

Welcome to Slow Cooker week at The Stay At Home Chef! This week I’m celebrating the launch of my first cookbook. It’s all about Slow Cooking so what better way to celebrate than to share 5 more great slow cooker recipes!

I’m starting with breakfast because I absolutely love using my slow cooker for breakfast. One of the few ways I can convince my family to give up their cold cereal is to provide a hot and tasty breakfast for them that requires little to no work on their part. Since I am most definitely not a morning person the slow cooker saves the day. It’s also the first of September so why not make it a fall recipe! Pumpkin french toast casserole. Toss it in the slow cooker before bed  and you’ll wake up to a house that is just screaming fall which is perfect for those crisp and cold fall mornings.
