Wake up to a fully-cooked breakfast! I love plugging my slow cooker in before bed when I have a house full of people. If my guests wake before I do, they can simply serve themselves.

Wow, great idea to use the slow cooker for breakfast too. I just made the apple oatmeal recipe and used some leftover eggnog and ground hazelnut from holiday baking. YUM. Leftovers will make a great breakfast for the next few days :)

So...how do you get around the short cooking times for these? Most breakfast foods I love, at least the slow-cooking ones, are hard to stretch beyond maybe 3-4 hours total cooking time, and despite the fact that I often DO only get 3-4 hours actual sleep, I wouldn't want to plan for it as though it were a good thing! Any way to negotiate this kind of thing? Can you cook before bed and leave things on warm all night? Or....?

I usually end up turning the crock on at 10 or 11 pm, and after the cooking is done, the food stays on warm until wake-up time. This is one of the best uses for a programmable slow cooker.

I bought one of the timers that are used to turn your lamps on when you are not home, $2.00) at the dollar store and I plug my crock pot into that and set it so it is done when we get up in the morning.
