Happy 2016 everyone!! I’m so excited for the new year, new adventures, and of course, to introduce you all to delicious new recipes!
In 2015 the 10 most popular new recipes on the blog consisted of two gluten free Chinese favorites, three slow cooker recipes, two salads, Greek tacos, and two vegetarian recipes!
I counted down the Top 10 on Instagram, so you can check out all of the new recipes that made the cut there!
In 2016, I’d love to hear what new recipes YOU would like to see on WhitneyBond.com! More slow cooker, gluten free or vegetarian recipes? One pot meals, recipes with 5 ingredients or less, quick and easy recipes? You tell me! Comment below and let me know what new recipes you’re looking for in the new year!
To start the ball rolling, I’m sharing a new version of one of the most popular recipes of 2015 on WhitneyBond.com, Greek Eggs Crockpot Breakfast Casserole. This time, I put a Mexican spin on the recipe, while still keeping it simple, gluten free and vegetarian.
I made this recipe on a Monday, then proceeded to eat it for breakfast all week.
My boyfriend Kurt loves breakfast burritos, and who am I kidding, so do I, so a couple of mornings we heated up the Mexican Egg Casserole then wrapped it up in a tortilla with avocado, sour cream and hot sauce to make an epic breakfast burrito. It was seriously delicious!
If you’re making it for a brunch, you can mix everything up in the slow cooker the night before, place it in the refrigerator then put it on high first thing in the morning, and in a couple of hours you’ll have a delicious brunch dish to serve family and friends!

I have now made this twice and it’s wonderful. I made it once for myself in a slow cooker and once for my son’s family in a 13×9 casserole dish. I used chorizo and left out the jalapeños to better satisfy preferences. I may try it with a less spicy sausage (possibly turkey breakfast sausage) as some of my friends family prefers less spicy food. Those who like spicy could always jazz it up with hot sauce. In any case, my son and his father-in-law snuck back for more later in the day.
Hi Ellie, I’m so glad you and your family are enjoying the recipe! Thanks for sharing!
So easy to make and really flavorful! My boyfriend ate almost the whole thing in 24 hours! Lol
Thanks for the great recipe!
Thanks so much Rachel! I love to hear that!
Do you happen to have any idea if this freezes well? I’m thinking of making it in a disposable crockpot liner and then freezing it, reheating it later on vacation.
Hi Meghan, unfortunately I have not tried freezing this recipe, so I can’t speak to how it would turn out.
